Alan Moore and Cthulhu, Friends 4-Ever
 |
?While any pairing of the famed Elder God Cthulhu and the infamously grumpy Alan Moore would be entertaining — a superhero duo, a rock band, a romantic pairing, a buddy cop movie — as it turns out, Moore is going to be writing a comic about Cthulhu called Neonomicon. Why I’m just now hearing about this is beyond me, but I blame you all for not doing my job for me. Bleeding Cool has an interview with the artist, Jacen Burrows, as well as a few details and more art, but the thing I think you really need to know is that Moore wrote Neonomicon while he was in a bad mood. I’m really, really hoping it’s because he saw the Adventures of Spanish Alan Moore.
