I swear, I could listen to Moore's voice all day. For someone who looks like a crazed hobo, he's one of the finest speakers I've ever heard.
I've read most of his works, from most of his ABC work to Watchmen. The only thing I've yet to read is From Hell.
Of his works, I couldn't finish Promethea. it was a beautiful book, but the plot kind of took a nosedive in favor of becoming a history book on magic.

Sorry, i'm not having a go, but that's the point of framing. It's supposed to be like that.
-
Sure, and I get that. My point is that the pace and structure of the story was very different once the two women began traversing through the different levels of reality. Previously, it was a great woman-empowerment themed superhero comic with a rich mythology. There were some moments of discussion regarding magic (such as the "sex" issue), but it was still an adventure story, not a lecture.
-
Copying the costumes and setting exactly is no substitute to telling the story properly. Making films is no longer about telling stories, it's about visuals (the awful trend of needless CG) and selling.
-
It's called a framing device. The story was the frame which was used to discuss the magic (and that's also one of the points, especially Hermes Trismegistus being the origin of Promethea's power etc.), it's also a theme in other Moore works that fiction is a kind of reality in-and-of-itself: a kind of magic.

@seansalvador1 Oh, absolutely. JH Williams III is one of the finest modern artists today.
My issue with Promethea was that it started out as this great, mystical adventure with a rich mythology. About halfway through, though, it turned into Moore stepping onto a soapbox to talk about the many levels of magic. The prevoius pacing took a total nosedive.

I loved Promethea and i'm really not into supernatural, spiritual, magical nonsense. It was one of the most beautiful things i've ever read, great story and the artwork..! What can i say abut the art?!
