The art is inspired. The writing clanks for me. Could be a lot of inside baseball stuff I'm not getting.

I don't know enough about Miller's Daredevil but I thought Bullseye ripping people apart with a cotton bud was funny...party pooper.

yeah, I bought that when it was published back in Daredevils monthly. He had also just written a series of text articles for Marvel, including one very favourable to Miller IIRC. surei have it somewhere . . .

That was awesome. I'd read an entire Sin City parody in that vein.

Thanks, James.

Reading it, sounds like Miller cribbed this for ASBARTBW.

All that does is make me wish Miller had done Daredevil for 30 years.

Alan Moore is a genius. The best comic book writer ever, probably.

But by God, I find him utterly unfunny.

The correct way to read and respond to Moore's precise brand of humour is with, alternately, a raised eyebrow or a wry smile.

I thought that first panel where he deduces he's in the Playboy Mansion was funny.

The "I'm in the Playboy Mansion" then stretches for 22 panels.

I seem to recall that Moore's work onThe BoJeffries Saga was pretty funny, and some of his
Jack B. Quick stuff, and all of the ads for the 1963 series. He can definitely be funny when
he focuses on parody.

When he's doing straight comedy, it doesn't ever really make me laugh, apart from his two "Violator" miniseries.

But moments of levity in his more serious stuff tend to work for me.

I think his funniest moment was when he parodied himself (and I guess Frank Miller too) with "Grim 80s Supreme."

He was pretty funny that time he was cracking on Chris Claremont.

Moore's no Harvey Kurtzman,but that's a pretty good parody of Miller's DD.
Funnier than the self-parody Miller has become.
