IF Alan Moore returned to DC, what would you want him to write?

[Sandy Hausler]

Hey, why not let Moore take a crack at

Look, he's good, but he's no Jack Kirby!

Anything he wants.

Pretty much this. IIRC: He the proponent of "The reader doesn't know what they want" so ... turn him loose and let him prove it.

Personal interest though?
Maybe something new god related or... any property that is secondary in popularity to the "main" heroes.

NewGods, Infinity Inc, Checkmate... Firestorm. The Man Called Midnight. (^_^). Something with a huge playpen that would get read on his name alone.

Anything he wants.

Yeah. When he doesn't have any real interest, he can turn out crap like that Judgment Day miniseries he did for Rob Leifeld.

Let him write something he has an actual passion for.

Wonder Woman
Justice League
The Secret Society of Super-Villains
Shazam

And many more Moore Top 10 stories.

Hellblazer back to Vertigo.

I considered Alan Moore in his prime to be a throwback to the classic DC writers, because his writing was always so clear and well-constructed. He seemed to have the same work ethic as a Gardner Fox or an Edmond Hamilton. He wasn't a messy writer like the other British Invaders. You didn't need to bend your brain to get the point of the narrative.

Yes, he created some far-out situations but it was always well-crafted story telling. And he didn't warp a character into someone that he was merely speaking through. His Superman wasn't a British warlock--his Superman was the essential character that Jerry Siegel and Otto Binder had written. He didn't need to make the morals of the characters fit with his own moral views of the world. There might be a message buried in the story that did fit his own philosophy but the characters didn't need to espouse that philosophy.

If DC was still doing anthology books like HOUSE OF MYSTERY, I would like to have Alan Moore as one of the regular contributors. That kind of book was very good for writers to tell self-contained stories with a certain point of view.

Anything he wants.

That's the correct answer.

The only book I want Moore to write is the book he *wants* to write.

Always got a long read from an Alan Moore book too. None of this 5 mins, some lazy splash page fillers and $4 rubbish. You got half an hour of dense storytelling and artists right at the top of their game from every issue for DC. Respected the reader, respected the medium, respected the characters.
