I posted my review of Alan Moore's "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier" a few weeks ago, over on Facebook. (For those of you unfamiliar with Moore, he's the extremely talented comic writer who is famous for hating or ignoring every film adaptation of his comics -- "Watchmen" & "From Hell" among them.) My comment was that he had gone completely off the rails; it appeared to me that before writing it he had simply randomly chosen locations from the "Dictionary of Imaginary Places" soon after attending a polyamory seminar.

So the Wife just finished reading it, and here's what she had to say: "I'm working on a theory that Alan Moore's fans have sucked all his common sense out through his dick."

Rory Root, owner of Comic Relief ("the Comic Book Store") in Berkeley, CA, and an acquaintance of more than 30 years, died today.  I don't have a lot of info right now, but will update if necessary with memorial, services, etc.
