If you take the time to understand the language, still pictures will move before your eyes. The things within them will come to life and talk to each other; will talk to you for that matter. Movie people can’t see that, so they can’t create that. They only see story boards in bound paper, which is not how a comic works at all. A movie doesn’t need the viewer to keep plodding along. It plays out if one, one hundred, or no people are watching. These days, anything but a great movie is like death in motion, each scene dieing for the next, until the movie is over. A comic can’t be that. The brain wont except it. A good comic waits for you to come along, and connect your life with it’s own; to take you into it’s world, and allow you to travel back in forth (though time) through it’s pages. It needs no projector, or electricity to come alive, only you or I. Maybe, that’s the magic for which Alan Moore talks about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365108625579347498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-88781453713852748112009-08-09T09:58:08.293-05:002009-08-09T09:58:08.293-05:00Couldn't agree more.

It always shocks me that the fans of a medium that was, after all, *built* on symbolism take everything so literally...Andrew Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412263807838661843noreply@blogger.com
