From Abhay Khosla, a “fan page” dedicated to Before Watchmen creator Darwyn Cooke. Heh.
“Generally, if I can’t be true to the creator’s intention and spirit, I will probably shy away from working on a character.”

“Anyone planning to boycott Before Watchmen on principle because Alan Moore objects to how DC’s handled his work might want to consider how that same principle applies to Superman and anything that builds on Kirby’s back catalog; Moore’s situation isn’t unique just because he’s still alive and available for withering comment.”
from Alex Pappademas’ great “Great Moments in Nerd Trolling: The Watchmen Prequels” piece in Grantland
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not thrilled with the idea of Watchmen Prequels for a whole host of reasons. But I think all of us, particularly comics creators, have blood on our hands when it comes to working on properties whose creators have still not been properly compensated for our work.
That includes me and my work-for-hire Marvel and DC work, as well as Alan Moore, who arguably built his career on other people’s characters (some in the public domain, many not).
