Morrison "Versus" Moore...?

It's pretty amazing that we have two major comic book writers who are both heavily involved in magic/magick.

Grant Morrison for 24 years (per his article in The Book of Lies, Disinfo Book); and Alan Moore from early 1994 (per many interviews, esp in Arthur).

Does anyone know what they think of each other? (I saw a few comments in the Promethea thread.)

It usually seems that great, intelligent minds occupy two separate "orbits", with little social overlapping.

There have been several threads on this topic already that you might find useful and/or interesting.

Hurrah search function!

Heh. Moore=Hogan? Morrison=Flair?

But who the hell is Millar then? Triple H?

(How dare I reference wrestling in a serious matter such as this. WOOOO!

)

I've asked years ago and I'll ask again: which was the game you could customize the fighter's appearance and powers? there was a talk of creating comic pros-lokkalike avatars and the idea of making Moore, Morrison, Millar, Ellis and all the american guys beat the crap out of each other in pixel glory was just great - to me, at least.

I think these two guys should let someone (hey, I'm available) do a goofy, one-off for a charity: "Alan Moore Versus Grant Morrison In The Occult-Magickal Battle of the Millennium!"

The cover of the old Superman Versus Spiderman was spoofed on Promethea #27's cover.

Each page featuring a different artist.

And their Cabbalistic Conflict, the Magical Mayhem would, of course, end in a draw.

(Sigh)

okay, so just so you know, I was utterly crushed when you all ignored my sad fanboy-art christmas wankery, when I posted this link the last bloody time the suggestion of a Moore/Morrison fight came up. I’ll point it out one last fucking time and then shut up about it forever: [url removed]. It’s been done. The joke's been, like, cracked already.

Bed Head, that's freaking great. Hopefully the "feud" is just a collaborative pretext for Morrison to body slam Moore upon the heads of those gents in the front row, snapping their necks as one (um, don't tell Homeland Security I said that, ok?).

For any unwilling to find the small text on the obtusely purposeless flash page referenced above, here's the image Bed Head mentioned, which is admittedly amusing.

Now I hope we can all never speak of this again.

This is an interesting topic because, as far as I know, Alan Moore and Grant Morrison are friends. I have this theory that Morrison, Moore, and Neal Gaiman are part of some sort of secretive magical order (a la Ordo Templi Orientis) but, of course, this is speculation.

Yeah, they're all really good friends and go over to each other's houses and hang out together and Grant's mom let him make a really cool clubhouse in the basement but that weird kid Warren Ellis is always trying to tag along and nobody really likes him but sometimes he sneaks beers out of his house so they let him hang out sometimes but it's kind of a drag because if they like want to go out to Taco Bell or something late at night and Grant is driving cos he's the only one who's got his license and Alan's only got his permit anyways Warren always calls shotgun even though it's like not even his club and Neil's getting really sick of it.

Also: Stephen King, Tom Clancy, John Grisham and Danielle Steele get together ever other Tuesday to play whist.
