On the weekend of
28-29
May, 2010 the University of Northampton held an international three-day conference on Alan Moore, entitled Magus: Transdisciplinary Approaches to the Work of Alan Moore. This collection contains articles adapted from the various lectures delivered during this series of conferences. So it contains, among other things, my article "Neil Gaiman: Portrait of the Artist as a Disciple of Alan Moore", adapted from the lecture of the same name given in Northampton on
29 May, 2010. The collection was published in 2011, as an issue of the British journal Studies in Comics, and it was edited by Nathan Wiseman-Trowse
and Mike Starr, who were also the organizers of the conference.

and Black Orchid, both of which draw much material from Swamp Thing, and with Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?, which positions itself as a restropectively complementary narrative to Moore's Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?).:
