Welllllll, technically Constantine WAS an Alan Moore character, created because John Totleben kept drawing this guy who looked like Sting in the background of Swamp Thing crowd scenes. So Alan Moore decided to make him a character.
I would go further and say that technically the word "Constantine" is about the only link between the movie and the comic book, so since Alan Moore wrote the word Constantine, the journalist was correct - from a certain point of view.
What, you mean you can actually see some differences between an American guy and his black kid cabbie friend who shoots demons with a crucifix shotgun and a British guy and his Cockney cabbie friend who basically mopes around while all his friends get killed and survives through a combination of luck and bullshitting? I dunno, man. I think it's totally the same guy.
...
Speaking of Moore and Totleben, I reread MiracleMan last week. Brag brag brag, yeah. I wish they'd reprint the damn things. They're worth finding on the p2p warez conveyor of your choice for reading, I'd say, or picking up if you can find them cheap. Issue 15... Damn. Totleben is a frightening artist.
I have a poster of the cover of issue 15, and I wish I could hang it up, but it's way too creepy.
I guess we've reached that point our civilization's development where the irony has looped back on itself, such that appearing on The Simpsons to Prove You Can Laugh At Yourself actually means you totally can't and are gritting your teeth and trying to cover for it. :)
Sire, our sages have discovered the secret of Recursive irony!
What shall we work on next?
