Salon geeks over Alan Moore

Salon gets six pages of chatty in, and they cover the usual--comics as literature, magic, etc, with a special focus on the similarities in Moore's looks at fascism in "Watchmen" and "V for Vendetta" and how they parallel the current political climate... Reagan and the whole Bush family line get speared.

Great read, even if you don't agree (though I do).

Occasionally they come off as a little snotty, but I much prefer that to the alternative.
