Podcast appearances and mentions of Alan Moore

From Margaret Atwood to Alan Moore, from 1984 to Andor, science fiction has gamed out totalitarian futures better than most political analysts. But does it have the answers to stopping the rise of fascism? Writer, critic and host of a fascinating online science fiction community Damien Walter discusses the lessons of future oligarchs, space tyrants and cosmic populism with Andrew Harrison. Which sci-fi dictator does Donald Trump most resemble? Are V For Vendetta and Judge Dredd warnings or instruction manuals? And if Andor is Marxist-Leninist, is the Star Wars story of restoring a genetic elite of magic knights actually fascist?  • Watch Damien's brilliant explorations of science fiction on YouTube and hear his Science Fiction podcast.  • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more. • Head to nakedwines.co.uk/thebunker to get 6 top-rated wines from our sponsor Naked Wines for £39.99, delivery included. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

We loved Peter David's X-Factor so much last time, so we're going back in for more! Except this time we're taking a look at his 2005 reboot of the title, coming hot off the heels of House of M and Decimation. We've still got Multiple Man struggling with controlling his dupes, but now we've got depowered mutants and an inexplicably omnipotent little girl to deal with. Then we finish up our long read of Thunderbolts with #25, in which they take down 25 supervillains and we see who's behind the Crimson Cowl. Next Time: We finish up Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run with Volume 6 (Issues 57-64)!

Na tripu popkulturou s Petrem A.

Ravenous thirst and fear to drink, rabies flecks the mouths of all these scum. I stand in judgement, standing alone in the rain. Genuflecting only to those monied interests I long to embrace. "That's right. Human bean juice. Ha Ha."

Corría el año 1982 en las islas británicas cuando en aquella sucursal que Marvel había abierto por allí les dio por juntar a dos chavales, aún veinteañeros, de nombre ambos Alan, para hacer una serie de capítulos cortos de producción propia dentro de sus revistas de reediciones de tebeos Marvel en blanco y negro. Pese a que en su día sobreviviera comercialmente dando tumbos, una pura cabezonada del editor Paul Neary, la casualidad y unas pocas toneladas de talento (inexperto, pero talento) de sus autores generarían todo un universo, o más bien multiverso, que marcaría para siempre los tebeos de la casa de las ideas y las carreras de sus dos autores, de uno u otro modo. Este renovado Capitán Britania, tras la primera versión de los años 70, terminaría siendo tal vez mucho más influyente que conocido y nos deja además ver las bases de dos de los autores más grandes que jamás ha dado el mundo de las viñetas. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad.

This week on Collecting Issues, we're diving headfirst into the dense, brutal, and brilliant world of 20th Century Men, the six-issue epic from Deniz Camp, Stipan Morian, and Image Comics. It's an alternate history where the Cold War got much, much hotter, fought with super-soldiers, giant mechs, and broken ideals in the mountains of Afghanistan.WARNING: This is a full-spoiler discussion! We highly recommend you read 20th Century Men #1-6 before listening. Go on, get out of here! Scram! Taste the wilderness... and then come back for the listens.Join us as we unpack this "impenetrable but so worth it" modern classic. We dissect Deniz Camp's complex, non-linear narrative that jumps through time and perspectives, comparing his style to legends like Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, and Grant Morrison. We also explore Stipan Morian's stunningly varied—and sometimes jarring—artwork, from Frank Frazetta-esque battle scenes to surreal, Bill Plympton-inspired visuals.Is this the best comic of 2025? Is it a spiritual successor to Watchmen? And after all the propaganda, war crimes, and failed utopias, we ask the eternal question: War, huh? What is it good for?Tune in to hear our thoughts on:The Unholy Trinity: A deep dive into the core characters: the crumbling Soviet ideal of The Iron Star, the brutal American imperialism of President Goode, and the human cost embodied by Azra.Artistic Chaos: Why Stipan Morian's shifting art styles are both the comic's greatest strength and its most challenging feature.Deconstructing History: How the comic uses superheroes to explore the real-world horrors and myth-making of the Soviet-Afghan War.Legendary Influences: We discuss the heavy shades of Planetary, The Authority, and Watchmen that run through this series.The Best and Worst of Humanity: From the terrifying super-soldier Six Bill to the tragic journalist Kyril, we break down the unforgettable supporting cast.If you love politically charged, artistically ambitious comics that challenge you at every turn, this is an episode you can't afford to miss.Time Stamps:00:00 Introduction to 20th Century Men00:49 Comic Book Spoilers Ahead!02:46 The Complexity of War in Comics12:07 Art and Storytelling in 20th Century Men16:32 Character Analysis: Heroes and Anti-Heroes27:37 The Symbolism of the Collected Man33:56 Side Stories and Paradise34:10 Azra's Practical Paradise34:56 John Rambo's Disruption35:04 Thomas Goode's American Supremacy36:09 Time Jumps and Narrative Techniques39:13 Art and Visuals in Comics43:15 Character Perspectives and Artistic Styles50:54 The Human Toll of War55:41 Modern Political Crises and Myth Making01:07:54 Spooky Season RecommendationsFollow the Podcast:Join the Discord and read alongRead Our SubstackFollow us on InstagramFollow us on TiktokWatch us on Youtube Hosted on Acast.

Seth's life until now has been a product of a diabolical, evil Truman Show, his entire upbringing a façade orchestrated for malevolent purposes. After his beloved dies, he undergoes a demonic metamorphosis, which causes the world's fictitious walls to crumble. As he tries to piece a semblance of his life back together and move on, he meets friends who inspire, but even more harsh truths are revealed, perhaps too difficult to cope with. The very existence of life and reality is exposed as a machination of grotesque gods. And to defeat them, Seth will have to fill his emptiness, for which there's only two options…bring the world to ruin, or learn to transmute his pain into strength. Fans of "Jerusalem" by Alan Moore, “The Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath, or “The Master and Margarita” by Mikhail Bulgakov will enjoy “The Monsters Among Us.”

With his highly anticipated debut graphic novel "More Weight: A Salem Story" releasing, Massachusetts-born author Ben Wickey joins us for an exclusive pre-launch interview about this Alan Moore-praised "appalling masterpiece." The Edward Gorey Award-winning artist's first solo work tells the harrowing tale of Giles Corey, the only person pressed to death under stones during the infamous 1692 Salem Witch Trials.What makes this upcoming graphic novel release extraordinary? Beyond Wickey's stunning and unmatched visual storytelling that brings historical horror to visceral life, he is a descendant of Salem Witch Trial victim Mary Easty, bringing deeply personal perspective to this decade-long project that Publishers Weekly compared to "From Hell." We explore the pre-release excitement, Wickey's meticulous research using historical documents, and his innovative dual-timeline narrative featuring Nathaniel Hawthorne interludes. Using the graphic novel format, Wickey cuts through pop culture mythology to restore the genuine horror and humanity of Salem's history.Discover how Corey transformed from testifying against his wife Martha to defiantly uttering his final words "more weight," and why this Salem witch hunt story will captivate readers everywhere.#SalemWitchTrials #BenWickey #MoreWeight #GraphicNovel #HistoricalHorrorBuy the Graphic Novel "More Weight" Read the Alan Moore World Blog: Ben Wickey An Extraordinary Enchanter More Weight Preview Page on TopShelfComix.com Sign the Petition: MA Witch Hunt Justice Projectwww.massachusettswitchtrials.orgThe Thing About Salem YouTube⁠The Thing About Salem Patreon⁠The Thing About Witch Hunts YouTube⁠⁠The Thing About Witch Hunts

Robert Plant on his journey from Led Zeppelin to his latest album of folk songs. Creator of V for Vendetta and Watchmen, Alan Moore is probably the world's most acclaimed writer of comic books, a medium he now eschews. Moving into novels, he has explored his hometown Northampton in widely praised work like Jerusalem, but his latest - The Great When - is an otherworldly exploration of literary London, inspired by the psychogeography of Iain SInclair and horror writing of Arthur Machen. From Seurat to Van Gogh, we mark a new exhibition at the National Gallery with a dive into the entrancing light and pontillist glow of the neo-impressionists. Co-curator Julien Domercq and art expert Anthea Callen are on to discuss. With the National Short Story Awards approaching, we speak to shortlisted author Emily Abdeni-Holman about her entry, Yair.

This week on Bronze and Modern Gods we've got a stacked lineup!

As any long time listener knows, I've been looking for a Marine Biologist to talk to. Well, the sea was angry that day, my friends, because I found my white whale. Alan Moore is a marine biologist and the President and Director of two accredited Marine Biology programs in Western Florida. They specialize is sharks and rays. So, of course we talked about sharks and rays. We also talk about - queue heroic music - octopusses!. Also, whales, porpoises, dolphins, seals, and lots of other animals great and small. So, don't be an old man trying to return soup at a deli. Pull out that Teistelist. It's to time to enjoy a deep dive.Epilogue: This guest revealed to me some days after the recording that he was not a Marine BIologist. He assured me he had the other requisite certifications and did run the school. He asked me not to air the show as he felt he didn't do well. I listened back and thought he was fine. But I agreed not to air the show contingent upon us re-recording limited primarily to sharks, rays and the school AND he'd send over some actual marine biologists. Neither contingency happened. I thought nothing of it until I saw him seeking guest spots on podcasts again. Judge for yourself. 

Estrenada en 2005, V de Vendetta rápidamente se convirtió en una película de culto, y su resonancia cultural no ha hecho más que crecer a lo largo de estos últimos veinte años. Con un guión de las hermanas Wachowski, adaptado de la novela gráfica de Alan Moore del mismo nombre, V de Vendetta se ha convertido en un símbolo perdurable de resistencia, anonimato y poder colectivo. La máscara de Guy Fawkes, antes ligada a una sola narrativa, ha entrado en la cultura global de la protesta —desde Occupy Wall Street hasta el activismo digital— encarnando la tensión entre el control del Estado y la libertad individual.Nuestro invitado de hoy es Alejandro Nava, académico de tiempo completo de la UAM. Al preguntarle su opinión sobre cómo abordar una discusión sobre V de Vendetta, Alejandro inmediatamente sugirió la consigna que, en la película, “V” comparte con Evie: “el pueblo no debe temerle a su gobierno, es el gobierno el que debe temer al pueblo”. Y es que, dos décadas después, los temas de vigilancia, autoritarismo y la fuerza transformadora de la disidencia que se tocan en V de Vendetta parecen menos ficción especulativa y más un espejo urgente de nuestro propio mundo.

This week on Bronze and Modern Gods we're breaking down the hottest comic news and hidden gems heating up the market!

In this episode, we (finally!) settle into our brand new studio setup and catch up on all the books, stories, and strange obsessions that have been filling our shelves—and our heads—lately. From the heartbreak and food memories of Crying in H Mart to the surreal mythology of The Spear Cuts Through Water, we share what's moved us, confused us, or just totally swept us away. Expect lively discussion about The Midnight Library, The Book of Doors, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow—all rich with time travel, alternate realities, and unexpected doorways. Things get chaotic with Dungeon Crawler Carl, philosophical with The Poppy War, and delightfully weird with Halls of the Turnip King. We also dip into the strange, mossy world of Swamp Thing—from Alan Moore's iconic run to the creature's (sometimes cursed) appearances in film.Along the way, we touch on I Hope This Finds You Well and what it says about modern workplace culture, gush about using Storygraph, and shout out the haunting track Pinprick by Dome.If you love books with bite, stories with portals, and a little comic book nostalgia, this one's for you.#PodcastEpisode #BookPodcast #ReadingRecap #NewStudioSetup #CryingInHMart #TheSpearCutsThroughWater #TomorrowAndTomorrowAndTomorrow #TheMidnightLibrary #TheBookOfDoors #DungeonCrawlerCarl #ThePoppyWar #HallsOfTheTurnipKing #SwampThing #AlanMoore #ComicBookTalk #Storygraph #BookDiscussion #TimeTravelBooks #FantasyReads #WorkplaceCulture #BookRecommendations #LiteraryPodcastLinktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/meetthegeeksMerch: Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! El movimiento Anonymous está de actualidad, y lo estará en los próximos meses, su icono representativo es la máscara que ha inmortalizado la obra V DE VENDETTA. Hoy en La Órbita De Endor hablaremos de esa novela gráfica, maravillosamente escrita por el genio Alan Moore, y también de la película de mismo título, escrita y producida por los Hermanos Wachowsky. Analizaremos no solamente ambas versiones de la historia, sino sus implicaciones filosóficas e idealistas sin entrar en política, aunque seguramente nos salga mal. Para ello, contaremos con la presencia de los habituales colaboradores del programa: Raúl Martin y el Coronel Kurtz. Pero será necesario conocer primero al personaje que sirvió de inspiración al misterioso V, el infame para unos y heroico para otros Guy Fawkes, mártir del famoso evento conocido como El Motín de la Pólvora. En la voz del historiador Juan José Sánchez-Oro, aprenderemos nuevamente en este programa algo de Historia. ¿Qué ocurrió realmente aquel 5 de Noviembre de 1605? Lo sabremos, con todo lujo de detalles (y algunos muy escabrosos), el único programa friki donde uno aprende cosas de verdad útiles. Posteriormente habrá que informarse sobre qué es eso de Anonymous, la iniciativa que ha vuelto a poner de moda al revolucionario V. Si te has preguntado alguna vez cómo funciona este grupo, de la mano del estudioso de la conspiración Miguel Ángel Ruiz sabrás, no sólo todo lo necesario para conocer Anonymous, sino qué actitud debemos adoptar como ciudadanos ante semejante movimiento. Todo esto en un solo programa, dirigido como siempre por Antonio Runa. Súmate a la revolución; súmate a LODE.

In this episode of Bros, Foes, & Heroes, Zach and Mike break down Peacemaker's first appearance in Charlton Comics, his bizarre “Peace Palace,” his stockpile of weapons he was never supposed to use, and his showdown with the evil Emil Bork (yes, Bork). Along the way, we cover how DC later reimagined him in the '80s, why Alan Moore almost turned him into the Comedian in Watchmen, and how he evolved into the helmet-wearing anti-hero we know today.

In this episode I am joined by Ray Russell, founder of Tartarus Press and, as R.B. Russell, the author of the newly published T. Lobsang Rampa And Other Characters of Questionable Faith, the first definitive biography of T Lobsang Rampa. Ray shares the life story of Rampa, born Cyril Henry Hoskin in 1910, who claimed to have been possessed by the consciousness of a Tibetan Lama. Rampa's books were best sellers in the mid 20th century and, though debunked by specialists at the time, are credited for bringing awareness to Tibetan Buddhism and serving as the initial inspiration for the careers of several notable Tibetologists. Ray reveals the truth of Rampa's origins, his various assumed identities, his ascent to international fame, the consequences of his exposure by the press, and the surprising reasons for his ongoing popularity. Ray also reflects on the mystery of faith, the psychological payoffs from belief in hoaxes and conspiracy theories, and what motivates some authors to represent fiction as fact. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/p319-mystery-of-t-lobsang-rampa-rb-russell Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

Episode 323. We read the first two volumes of The Terrifics, a DC story featuring fan-favorite characters from James Gunn's Superman, in a format that feels more like Marvel's Fantastic Four. The best of both worlds! Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho, Plastic Man, and Phantom Girl find themselves literally stuck together -- if they're more than a mile apart from each other, they'll all explode -- and have to turn themselves into a real working team to solve a multiversal crisis. We discuss Plastic Man's ability to be truly, mind-bogglingly ANYTHING, classic Jeff Lemire sadness, "science" adventures, and if Alan Moore has ever once in his life jumped.Click here to watch a video of this episode.

Rob Liefeld returns to the CBH podcast talking about Youngblood hitting its stride, Extreme Studios becomes a hothouse of new series: Brigade, Bloodstrike, and nearly two dozen more, all while he mentors rising talents Dan Fraga, Norm Rapmund and more. Mounting costs inside Image spark sharp discussions with Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, and Mark Silvestri, nudging Liefeld to open Maximum Press for experiments like Battlestar Galactica and Avengelyne. He talks about his exit from Image and his stint on Marvel's Heroes  Reborn, where his Captain America made headlines amidst Marvel's bankruptcy. Recharged, he launches Awesome Comics, partners with Alan Moore for an Award‑winning Supreme, and joins Golden Age legend Joe Simon to shield Fighting American in court. A family walk through Greek ruins now feeds the mythic spark in Cable, Deadpool, and their Fortnite cameos. Royalties still arrive, proof that owning your stories keeps the dream alive, which is a lesson his friend Robert Kirkman echoes with Walking Dead and Invincible. #RobLiefeld #Youngblood #ExtremeStudios #ImageComics #CreatorRights #HeroesReborn #CaptainAmerica #MaximumPress #AlanMoore #Deadpool Support the show

We were planning to end our Mark Millar summer series with a head-to-head adaptation bracket, but due to scheduling conflicts, that episode didn't come together. So instead, Laramy goes solo to offer his final thoughts on Millar's legacy—exploring the impact of his comics, the controversy that surrounds his work, and how he compares to other boundary-pushing creators like Alan Moore and Frank Miller.What makes Millar's storytelling so marketable and so divisive? Can Millarworld become Netflix's next big universe? And why do his stories continue to provoke, entertain, and challenge comic book fans?It's not quite the end—Kick-Ass 2 is coming next week—but this is the deep-dive farewell to the man behind the madness.

We hope you enjoyed the first episodes of Tyler Wilcox's All One Song series, but we're back with, well, something different: it's a bonus Transmissions conversation between Transmissions host Jason P. Woodbury and musician, writer, and podcaster Stephen Coates, host of the Bureau of Lost Culture. This episode also appears today in the Bureau of Lost Culture feed and I can't recommend checking that show out enough if you haven't already. Dedicated to counter cultural explorations, the show has covered everything: Stonehenge, club culture, Victorian freak shows, mushrooms, ska, the Beats, teddy boys (and teddy girls) and much more. One of my favorite episodes—and one that spurred this conversation—features esoteric author Gary Lachman in conversation with the great writer and magician Alan Moore—though usually, it's Stephen who steers the conversations along, quite masterfully, as he does here.  We recorded this a few months back, and we're excited to share it with you to tide you over ahead of next week's brand new installment of All One Song, so without delay, let's get it into it.

1987 was a transitional year in comic books. DC successfully relaunched Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Justice League in their new post-Crisis universe. Marvel started a new universe too, which they called, uh, "New Universe." Also at Marvel, Spider-Man got married, an event so big that an actual wedding ceremony was held at a baseball stadium. Meanwhile, Alan Moore wrapped up his brilliant run on Swamp Thing, American Splendor's Harvey Pekar appeared on Late Night with David Letterman, Max Headroom made the cover of Mad Magazine... and Peter Porker the Spectacular Spider-Ham met the nefarious Dr. Chickenstein. And hey, our pal Kevin Cafferty (from Gleaming the Tube and The Best Stuff in the World) is here to help us figure it all out!

La Órbita de Endor hoy dedica un especial entero al cómic V DE VENDETTA, con guión de Alan Moore y dibujo de David Lloyd. Será el Volumen 1 dedicado a V de Vendetta, pues a este monográfico le seguirá un segundo volumen donde hablaremos sólo de la película. Aquí analizaremos no sólo el modo en que fue concebido, sino su historia editorial, con suspensiones en el tiempo que dejaron la obra a medio hacer hasta que se regresó para concluirla, amén de toda la carga ideológica de sus tramas y de personajes que merecen un sesudo estudio. Y qué tramas, amigos, hoy vamos a ponernos profundos de verdad. Hoy, junto al Coronel Kurtz, Rafa Pajis, Paco Garrido y Antonio Runa vamos a exprimir al máximo todo el meollo y la enjundia de este pedazo de cómic. Hoy debemos faltar a la ortografía para daros la Vienvenida a la totalidad de la audiencia. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

On this episode, we discuss a Swamp Thing story that we're surprised didn't qualify for our recently wrapped We're With the Banned miniseries on banned and challenged comics -- Rite of Spring from Saga of the Swamp Thing #34, as well as its sequel, Windfall from Saga of the Swamp Thing #43, by Alan Moore and various artists, published by DC Comics! First up, Abigail Cable finally professes her love for our sentient vegetable man. And in lieu of sexytimes, he offers her communion via a bite of one of the tubers growing on his body, sending her on a consciousness-altering trip that shows her the interconnectedness of all things. Next we meet Chester Williams, an affable hippie who finds one of Swamp Thing's discarded tubers in the bayou. Part of the yam finds its way to Sandy, a woman dying of cancer. Another part of it ends up with Chester's unpleasant acquaintance Milo, and … let's just say things don't work out very well for one of them. Like, does this mean Swampy and Abby are going out? Does the yam as a kind of cosmic litmus paper? Do kids today even know what litmus paper is? And are these two stories good enough to embark on that long, strange trip known as … The Comics Canon?
