That is a great interview, though.
on the 'channeling' of Tom Strong and Promethea:
>> MOORE: Everybody thinks that Promethea is based upon this character invented by this lesbian author, Helen Cixous, who did write a book about this female emerging from the imagination, a heroine whose name is Promethea. But I didn't realise till the painter and performer José Villarubia got in touch with me and he said he'd been looking on the map and he'd found all these different disparate references to characters named Promethea, most notably this one that Helen Cixous had written about which even sounds like the same character. And the other day he sent me a book of Tom Strong. It's from 1903, it's Tom Strong Saves the Day. Apparently it was published by the Boy Scout Organisation in America, they did a series of books about this muscular boy scout called Tom Strong. |
