Is Alan Moore Right? The Dark Truth About Superheroes Revealed!
In the ensuing years, Moore has gotten a reputation for being comics’ greatest curmudgeon, giving scathing takes on the comic industry that have only intensified by Moore leaving comics altogether. This led to one of his most controversial statements on the nature of superheroes ever. Moore said that comics were a road to fascism. Now, I’m a huge superhero fan, so this stung a lot. As someone who is very much anti-fascist, I never really thought about superheroes that way. However, the more I think about it, the more I see that Moore is right. That said, just because he’s right doesn’t mean that this opinion of has to be the final word.
