Glad no-one tried to force the Morrison vs Moore thing. I can accept that Morrison works in a historical context (and therefore cannot escape Moore's influence), I can accept that he likes a bit of post-modern reappropriation (and therefore borrows from whatever creator takes his fancy), but I cannot accept the premise that he is unoriginal.
Whatever! Let's get to the meat!
From Newsarama:
Wishing to see the whole matter surrounding the Captain Britain copyright resolved and go away to allow him to focus on writing comics and other work, Alan Moore told Newsarama this morning that he accepted Joe Quesada’s apology yesterday when Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief called him to explain what had happened with the volume, from the copyright to the missing page.
“Joe told me that he was going to be publishing an apology and when the book was reissued, which should be fairly shortly, and then it would have the copyright notice,” Moore said. “I told him that if all that happened, that would be okay with me.
“He did apologize for the fact that this had happened at all, and that someone should have been taking greater care. He told me that there had been some firings at the Marvel trade paperback division – this wasn’t anything that I would ever want anyone to lose a job over, but it did show a degree of contrition. I take Joe at face value. I’m sure he’s a man of his word, so if all of this comes to pass, that would satisfy me. That’s the long and the short of it – it sounds like it was an unfortunate blip for which all parties concerned should be sorry, and have to walk it off.” |
