At the Forbidden Planet blog<\/a>, P\u00c3\u00a1draig \u00c3\u201c M \u00e9al\u00c3\u00b3id<\/a> talks to Alan Moore<\/strong> about the much-anticipated second volume of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century \u2013 1969<\/em>, a companion interview, if you like, to the 3:AM<\/em> interview<\/a> in March:<\/p>\n

“Other things that I remember from the 1960s was how all the psychedelic culture, yes, it crossed over with mystical culture, it also crossed over with criminal culture, as perhaps best exemplified in films like Performance<\/a><\/em>. What we’ve got in 1969, in keeping with the League<\/em>‘s usual practice, is that we’ve got a world entirely composed of references to the culture of that period, or around that period. So we’re taking bits from various films, television series, books, comics, any culture of that time we’re working into the fabric of our story, and me and Kevin personally think that this is the best League<\/em> episode yet, and the job that Ben Dimagmaliw has done on the actual colour is wonderful, and Todd Klein’s done his usual marvellous job on the lettering. So it’s looking wonderful.<\/p>\n

I hope that people will have as much fun digging out the various references as we had putting them in there, and there’s also the second chapter of Minions of the Moon<\/em>, which I think develops nicely, and there some\u2026 as with the first part, we’ve tried to work in a number of different lunar fictions, so if you can think of lunar fictions that we haven’t included, then do please send them in, in time for part three, in about a year’s time. Yeah, it’s going to be a very, very good issue, and Kevin’s artwork is exquisite, and I’ve also seen the first eight or nine pages of 2009<\/em>, so he’s banging on with that, and that looks like it’s going to be incredible, so, yeah, we’re very pleased with it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
