Alan Moore is the guy behind classics like Watchmen and V for Vendetta in case you didn't know.
To say he is quite the character is a bit of an understatement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Moore

It's a thwarted and frustrated and perhaps largely impotent American liberal fantasy of someone with American liberal values [standing up] against a state run by neo-conservatives — which is not what "V for Vendetta" was about. It was about fascism, it was about anarchy, it was about [England]. The intent of the film is nothing like the intent of the book as I wrote it.
