Holy crap, it's Rorshach!

I didn't know you could refuse to have work credited to you.

What is the story of what happened between him and DC anyway?

It seems strange that a company and a man who did such good work together would split.

I think he might be a bit of a drama queen, but who knows, maybe there is more to it than we know. According to Wikipedia:

Moore has also had disputes with DC Comics, which led to his decision in the late 1980s to no longer work with them. Among the reasons reported for this rift were DC's plan to institute a "mature readers" label for certain books they published; the publisher keeping Watchmen and V for Vendetta in print beyond their original serialization, which prevented the rights from reverting to Moore and Gibbons; and DC's attempt to pay Moore and Gibbons reduced royalties on merchandise the company considered "promotional items" for Watchmen. (As a result of this, Moore and Gibbons managed to block Watchmen action figures being produced for the comics' 15th Anniversary (in 2000), as well as an anniversary hardcover. Subsequent to the latest falling-out between Moore and DC - and coincident with the series' 20th anniversary - the oversize Absolute Watchmen was released in 2005.)

Subsequent to his earlier disputes with DC and his stated intention to not work for them, DC's purchase of Jim Lee's WildStorm studios found Moore working for DC by proxy. Unhappy with the situation, it has been reported that Lee and editor Scott Dunbier flew to England personally to reassure Moore that he would not be affected by the sale, and would not have to deal with DC directly: Moore's hope that DC would not interfere with his ABC work was dashed when sections of two of his comics (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen #5, cover dated June 2000, and Tomorrow Stories #8, January 2001) were altered both after and before going to press. (See ABC, above) Promethea #22 also saw slight friction, when a couple of panels were censored, but these were reinstated for the collected edition.

Wow it really does seem like he is a drama queen.

His main gripe seems to be that DC kept printing Watchmen and LOEG,given how highly those are rated what did he expect.

That like Lucas expecting Fox to stop selling Star Wars DvDs.

At one point the dude quit comics to become a magician and worships a snake-God, so... You know...

I knew I recognized him!



Wrath-Amon Wrath-Amon it's time for a commercial!

[Doctor Who?]

Wow I just found a picture of him



Wow.

[Edward J Grug III]

There's a pretty good interview with him on youtube done by Stuart Lee if anybody can be bothered looking it up.

[Doctor Who?]

I think his beard damaged the film this picture was taken on.

He worships a glove puppet, it's an important distinction.

Personally I love Alan Moore, I think he's great, temperamental tendencies and everything. 

[Edward J Grug III]

He worships Glycon, who was supposedly a hoax performed with a glove puppet, yes.

Er, yes that's what I said. 

And indeed linked to a while back

[mrbasehart]

I think he looks bloody magnificent.  I hope he carries a staff around with him at all times.

[Tripe]

I used to wear as many rings as he does, though I could never feel comfortable with the ones that cover the whole digit like her wears on oneof his fingers.



He's a great British eccentric all in all. 

[a pretty girl is like]

I think he's a great individual also.  He's a total gentleman in that he gives his share of whatever profits he would be making off movies to his partners instead.

[Doctor Who?]

He looks like he also tell fortunes and will be poisoned,stabbed,shot,and dumped in a river at some point.
