George Takei has shown the world many faces: actor, author, outspoken activist, helmsman of the starship Enterprise, living witness to the internment of Japanese Americans, and king of social media. But until October 27, 2005, there was always one piece missing—one face he did not show the world. There was one very intimate fact about George that he never shared… and it rhymes with Takei.

One of the delights of Alan Moore & Steve Moore's monumental Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic is the introduction to a wider audience of the extraordinary artist Ben Wickey. Ben has spent many years working in animation (both traditional and stop-motion) as well as illustration and comics, and his artwork brings to life one of the key features of the Bumper Book, "Old Moores' Lives of the Great Enchanters."

What's more, Ben is preparing his solo graphic novel debut, a huge 480-page opus about Giles Corey and the Salem Witch Trials, entitled More Weight: A Salem Story.

Ben recently spoke with Alan Moore World about his experience working on the Moon and Serpent Bumper Book, his creative relationship with Alan, and what awaits us in More Weight — with plenty of behind-the-scenes photos and art. Check it out!

December 10, 2024 / More →

Anticipation is heating up for our first two books of 2025. In fact, both of these books have multi-talented creators who not only wrote and drew these graphic novels, but also created gorgeous animated trailers for them!

Although the candy-colored early-teen dramedy of Dani Diaz's Dreamover is miles apart from over-the-top older-teen gothic horror of Sam Fonseca's Shadowplay, both are terrific at using imaginative visuals to capture the deep emotions of the growing-up process. Check them out below!
