I'm going to be wrapping up most of the ABC line-at least my part of it-then I'm going ibe going into semi-retirement from the comics industy. I just want to some other things and not have deadlines hanging over me all the time.-Alan Moore
I can understand it it still is sad that he won't be writing comics much anymore.
Edit: For those of you who don't know Alan Moore he is a British writer that gave comics some much needed balls
Here is a small sample of his work:
Watchman
Miracleman
From Hell
The League of Extraordairy Gentlemen
Supreme
the ABC line of comics
Swamp Thing
and many more!
Edit 2: Wizard will have more on his "retirement" in Wizard #142
