just because he has dressed like a crazy person for a long time it doesnt mean he is given exemption from the mockery. Imagine if that was Jeph Loeb or Geoff Johns doing that. The guy is not above us because he has been around for a while.

Has he made the claim to be "above" anyone? He's always appeared level-headed to me and has saved his stronger opinions about irresponsible authority.
So is it about his being a showman or his being crazy? I think it switched there somewhere. I think he's just being Alan Moore. He's actually toned it down a bit. He used to wear brightly colored suits regularly IIRC.
He told a story in an interview once about how he was walking home from a pub one night and cut through a public wooded area and passed a couple of young guys. One of them said to the other after he passed, "what the hell was that?" And that made him smile.
Did he become a public "magician" because it was to seek attention? Then how do you explain the exhaustive examination of the subject in Promethea? Does he write League of Extraordinary Gentlemen to show off his literary knowledge or is he genuinely passionate about the work? Don't make me go into serious detail here but I think his work and actions show where his head is on the media and the corporate product pushers.
Rip him if you want, but I don't think you have a leg to stand on.

I know you were razzing me about Moore, but I do truly think he's got a good deal of integrity as an artist so I couldn't let it lie.

you really do have a slightly unhealthy fascination/obssesion dude.

I don't know, man... I think giantevilhead has to be our most underappreciated member. His every post is gold--- and his loyalty to Zod is not only impressive, but shrewd: long after we are all on our knees in abject obeisance, Giantevilhead will be kicking back with some Vegemite as he rules over his island kingdom of Australia! Ya gotta respect that...

First of all, it's KHAAAN!!!!!not Khan. This is Khan: Khan was a great philospher, he said: "The greatest pleasure in life is to crush your enemies and hear the lamentation of their women." Conan stole that from Khan. Plus he looks just like Confucious so he must have been a great philosopher. This is KHAAAN!!!!!: KHAAAN!!!!! is an angel who owns an island somewhere in the Pacific and uses his mystical powers to make people's fantasies come true in order to teach them a moral lesson and he had a sidekick who tried to kill James Bond. Second, there is no such thing as an "unhealthy" obsession with Zod. He's General Zod, he is master of all he surveys. Who will you run to when the world is made to kneel before Zod? Who will protect you? Him? Him? or him? No, no one can protect you from the wrath of General Zod. It is best to kneel before him now before it is too late.

Look how Zod crumbles before the might of Chuck Norris? Look how he falls to his knees whilst Chuck owns him without the slightest hint of effort. Look how Zod is towered over like a little girl trying to battle the mighty Zeus. Where is your Zod now? Where is your "master of all he surveys"? Where is he when he comes face to face with the mightiest of mortals, Chuck Norris?
