Necronomicon moore5/28/2023 ![]() If anything, ‘success’ was an understatement for a man who had essentially re-invented the comic book in just over seven years. “I’m a comic book messiah for the 1990s,” a young, but no less bearded Moore once described himself in documentary for ITV, “and having risen from my humble terrace street origins and having survived my tenure as one of the dole queue millions I’ve now become a successful small businessman of no mean repute, and I believe that this is the face of success in Mrs Thatcher’s Britain”. ![]() In the centuries that followed, the rich vein of mystic British visionaries continued from William Blake to Aleister Crowley and Austin Osman Spare, snaking its way to the poverty-stricken Boroughs of Northampton where, in 1953, Alan Moore was born. Indeed, in 1583, that’s just what happened to the home of John Dee who had, earlier that year, set off to Poland with the occultist Edward Kelly on the instruction of beings he’d politically termed ‘angels’. Five hundred years ago we’d probably have burned him. ![]()
