More From Alan Moore

I am a leader. leaders always get heat. they're always going against the grain. jimi hendrix got heat; bob marley got heat; miles davis got heat. every great artist got heat. heat means you're doing something right.
Mean Artist Leader
White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'
Movie Jobs Nice
But the owls themselves are not hard to find, silent and on the wing, with their ear tufts flat against their heads as they fly and their huge wings alternately gliding and flapping as they maneuver through the trees. athena's owl of wisdom and merlin's companion, archimedes, were screech owls surely, not this bird with the glassy gaze, restless on the bough, nothing but blood on its mind.
Blood Wings Bird
I felt like it was a courageous show [black-ish] from the beginning. we are a black family - we're not a family that happens to be black. but the show is not even about us being black. the show is about us being a family. that is groundbreaking - on tv, the black characters either happen to be black or they're the "black character," where everything they say is about being black. i think that's the genius.
Character Thinking Black
One man said, "i looked at my brother through the microscope of criticism, and i said, "how coarse my brother is." then i looked at my brother through the telescope of scorn, and i said, "how small my brother is." then i looked into the mirror of truth and i said, "how like me my brother is."
Brother Men Mirrors
We are the owls of the weather chaw. we take it blistering, we take it all. roiling boiling gusts, we're the owls with the guts. for blizzards our gizzards dr tremble with joy. an ice storm, a gale, how we love blinding hail. we fly forward and backward, upside down and flat. do we flinch? do we wail? do we skitter or scutter? no, we yarp one more pellet and fly straight for the gutter! do we screech? do we scream? do we gurgle? take pause? not on your life! for we are the best of the best of the chaws!
Ice Weather Joy
