?This is Alan Moore. I know you might not recognize him without his massive beard — or without any traditional male gender identifiers — but it is indeed the esteemed comic book writer and legendary grump. The reason he’s drawn as an anime schoolgirl is because this is from a fanbook about Moore done by manga artist Ryusuke Hamamoto. So of course instead of just drawing Alan Moore as his hideous, normal self, Hamamoto re-imagined him as a schoolgirl. Because JAPAN, THAT’S WHY. Guh. (Via Bleeding Cool)
