League of Extraordinary Gentlemen:The Black Dossier
Well,I keep getting asked when The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen:The Black Dossier will be out? Why ask me? Anyway,I can tell you that the hardcover book has two cover variants but for the U.S. only,according to the person I spoke to at Diamond.
I hate this whole variant cover rip-off:either make it a Front and Back cover or choose the best!
Any old how,this is the info I have -and I know that the comic geeks out there will know all of this,but CBO is visited by many who have no access to fan press. Grin and bear it!
Written by Alan Moore; Art and Cover by Kevin O’Neill

And another cover probably depicting Alan Moore trying to invoke the spirit of John Dee using the good doctor’s very own “shewstone” (It was stolen a few yars ago from the museum that was exhibiting it, and was never found). Did you ever see Moore in that Channel 4 documentary about Dee a few years back in which he seemed to genuinely believe that Dee & Edward Kelley ACTUALLY succeeded in summoning angels. It’s pretty obvious, if you do the historical research, that both men were probably tripping on the LSD-like psychotropic effects of ergot fungus in their bread, in much the same way that John the Divine freaked out from eating the magic mushrooms that grew on Patmos and ended up writing the Book of Revelation. Imagine: whole generations of ignorant Fundamentalist Christians-like the late, UNlamented Jerry Falwell-preaching that the “End Times” were approaching, and yet never realising that the whole idea of the Apocalypse was nothing more than a bad ’shroom trip! Yu’ve got to laugh…
