For shame, PatrickMM! Alan Satan was (and is, we can only hope) a totally different person from Alan Moore. He used to live up my street when I lived back in Jarrow, actually - him and the rest of the Satan family: his three brothers, Ted, Frank and Bob, and his sister Gemima, and good ol' Mom 'n' Pop Satan. Salt of the earth, they were - Bob helped fix my BMX once when it got a puncture, Pop Satan was always generous with the polo mints and - well, I probably shouldn't tell you this, but what the hey - as I recall, it was Gemima Satan who gave me my first 'hickey'.
It was a terrible thing when those people from SHIELD turned up. There's people in Jarrow who will tell you, to this day, that poor Alan was fitted up by Magneto and Kraven the Hunter as part of a nasty practical joke they'd thought up after one too many campari and sodas, and I, for one, believe them. The gentle, sensitive Alan Satan I knew would never do anything like what he was accused of doing to that bus full of handicapped children: it's a travesty of justice.
Now Alan Moore, on the other hand... |
