Welcome to the dashing personal tumblr of an equally dashing raconteur, famed alchemist and master lion tamer -- I enjoy collecting cursed inheritance, the smell of hammers half-buried in damp soil and filling description sidebars with ballsy lies. Expect danger, lulz, illustration, ADVENTURRRE (all-caps, three R's), comics and magnificent beards.

I based the colour palette of this theme on a picture of a cold cat. That's all you really need to know.

Question. “As a writer, what is the relationship with the artist?”

Answer: “It’s down to that question in that Chaz Palminteri film again, would you rather be loved or feared? I prefer fear. I tend to write the character designs and everything, but I don’t describe it down to the color of their pants and what they had for breakfast that morning, which some writers do.

Have you ever seen an Alan Moore book? Alan spent a page and a half on the first panel of Watchmen. But Alan’s crazy. Alan’s the guy who built a tunnel under his house. Alan’s the guy who essentially worships a sock. The roman snake god, who was always represented by a puppet of a snake, which is essentially a sock.

I love Alan, but I haven’t spoken to him in years because I haven’t got that much time in the day. Alan speaks very slowly, and when he’s got you on the phone you’re kind of a captive audience.

Alan did a convention once in the states and his signing queue followed him into the bathroom.

The first time I went to Iceland I spoke at the university there, had a fantastic time. And they said ‘Do you by any chance know Alan Moore? We’d love to have him as a followup visit to you.’

So I rang up Alan and said, ‘If you’d like, I got you an all-expenses paid trip to Iceland, it was brilliant.’

And he said, ‘I don’t really leave Northampton much. In fact, I don’t really leave the house. In fact, I don’t really leave the living room, and truth be told, I stay on this side of the living room. The other side of the living room is a strange and different place, and it scares me.’”

That hair is really bad, but I am in love with everything else. Holy wow. Unsurprising, since this shoot is one of Grace Coddington’s brilliant ideas. Go watch the September Issue to find out why Grace Coddington is the most awesome, most creative, takes-no-shit editor in fashion.

I’m reading DC: The New Frontier right now because of this tumblr. The art is so good I just want to die. I had to laugh at Batman’s dialogue here though. “A seventy thousand dollar sliver of meteor”? Just say “expensive chip of Kryptonite” you cryptic bastard!
comic-relief:

Oh Bruce, you’re so alien racist in this.
That’s it for the volume one spam! Probably do some from volume two next week.

She’s all round and tough and taller than everybody. Back-slappingly blase. Just look at her up there! She’s like: “Hay Kal, we just murdered a bunch of rapists* and now we’re gonna do karaoke! Celebrate good times, come on!”
