Why does /lit/ hate Alan Moore? Are there any well-written comic books?
>>
The "chuds" don't like him and his ideas about freedom.
I call them the Thunder shirt gang.
>>
>>24870488
This. The others are triggered by him because they confuse him with Dugin.
>>
>>24870499
Uke chuds are mixing him up now? HAA hahaha
>>
>>24870488
Is his stuff actually up there with great literature?
>>
>>24870580
Good pulp. Fits with /sffg/. Better than GRRM and a bunch of others, that's for sure.
>>
>>24870413
Because comics are elementary reading for children. Both he and his fans are pathetic manbabies.

"I have fnearly finished another one of my fantastically well written stories, but it's missing something to make it complete. What could it be? Ah yes, that's right, how could I forget It needs a rape scene."
>>
>>24870980
He doesn't like that he makes a living at writing.
Jealousy I would presume.

>>24870935
Picture books have been a thing, a part of literature, for a very long time. Baron Munchausen for one, I really enjoyed.
>>

He writes tryhard trash

>what if le cartoon but le evil!!!1

Catch me outside with that corny shit
>>
>>24870413
He's acceptable for what he does, but his ego is way, way too big for the material he puts out. At the end of the day he's a children's pulp writer, not a visionary genius, and he doesn't seem to realize that.

What so bad about his comics? I thought some of the writing in Watchmen was pretty good.
>>
i dont hate him but he's not good, he's marketing and a reputation accumulated from the opinions of retards

What's a better executed story you would recommend similar to Watchmen either plotwise or thematically?
>>
>>24870413
he seems to be getting worrisomely close to the same level of drug fueled schizophrenia as Philip K. Dick with the pink lasers, but he still seems an intelligent guy amid the madness, I like his thoughts about magic and idea space
>>

What's so bad about it?

>>24870413
I liked From Hell. It’s basically Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper.
>>
>>24871317
>It's basically fanfic
>>
>>24871364
The Aeneid is fanfic
Dante is fanfic
That's not just a meme

They won't be able to answer. But protip: never attempt to sincerely defend the merit of something that isn't board culture approved. You will be met only with bad faith trolling.
>>
>>24871214
>thematically
What are the themes of Watchmen? Nixon bad? Superheroes aren't realistic?
>>24871288
Prose is shit, art is shit. Just because it's combined doesn't make it not shit.
>>
>>24870413
>Why does /lit/ hate Alan Moore?
If you examine his actual writing abilities apart from any illustration, by looking at his novel Jerusalem, you can see that he sucks ass. But since he makes le comic, somehow that excuses his shit writing.
>>
>>24871507
>Prose is shit, art is shit.
Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.
>>
>>24871526
shut the fuck up
>>
>>24871449
You mistake an unwillingness to humor you with an inability to do so. Protip: Very few people who are serious about literature have any any interest or thoughts about the misadventures of the spandex brigade or the hacks who write them.
>>
>>24871542
I agree with you, but you sound like a faggot
>>
>>24871542
Watchmen is better than Infinite Jest.

Moore is a talentless hack.
I do consider Corto Maltese literature.
