Would he be famous today if he only started writing stuff in the 2020's?
>>153457173Which one?
>>153457173I just keep thinking how this guy looks like Rasputin
>>153457183the swedish metal band member in focus
>>153457173Moore: No. His output would be very different, but he probably wouldn't see comics as a viable medium today. There's no real potential these days, and back then, shit was still interesting. To make comics, he'd have to be kept to a small scene, though it wouldn't be his primary endeavor.Kirby: Ditto. He'd do art for a different medium.
>>153457184He looks likes a Manson-esque cult leader that people wear tee shirts of
>>153457296Kirby cartoons with high quality animation would be amazing
>>153457173Impossible to tell because the entire comic landscape of the past 30 years was shaped by him, his works and his copycats to such a degree that if you removed him from the picture, everything would be so different we have no idea what comics would even be like.
>>153457173Moore would be written off as an edgelord wiping his ass with obscure properties out of jealousy while getting high off his own farts
>>153458698>30 yearsMake that 40-50. Time flies.
>>153457173A bunch of Moore's shit would get him in a ton of hot water. Imagine the prissy little bitches of today reacting to shit like Promethea. Or that Lovecraft comic he wrote back in 2010.It would be one cancellation campaign after the next with how he loves to use rape and sex.
He'd pull a Shatner and get involved in 50+ daily arguments on social media, slowly destroying what little brains he has
>>153457173I don't think it would be the same because he became popular in a time when the American comics audience was still large enough and varied enough to support Swamp Thing and Watchmen, and the guidance he got in the 80s wouldn't be there in the 2020s. He would still be able to do well enough to get a following, though.>>153458698This is a good point, but I think some parts of it would still remain the same (comics were already going in a darker direction, Miller would still be there to influence things, Image guys would've still been influenced by Byrne, Perez, Michael Golden, Simonson, etc)I think without Moore you either wouldn't have the British Invasion, or it goes much differently.You see way more Moore influence on the 00s because now Marvel and DC would be trying to push writer-driven comics and some writers were trying to be like Moore, so that decade might definitely be different
Alan Moore's AO3 account would be fucking amazing.
