Alan Moore’s Newest Graphic Novel Will Teach You How To Cast Magic Spell And Contact The Dead
Alan Moore is one of the most widely celebrated writers in comic books, but the legend is finally getting ready to call it a day with one last comic book. First teased two decades ago, The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic will be released this October and contains “a clear and practical grimoire of the occult sciences,” from Moore, who is also a practicing occultist. Made in collaboration with his late friend and co-author, Steve Moore, this 352-page hardback book mixes writing, illustration, and advice on how to cast a few spells and has been discounted from $50 to $46.50 ahead of its release.
In addition to the two (unrelated) Moores, the book also features contributions by Kevin O’Neill, Melinda Gebbie, Jose Villarrubia, Steve Parkhouse, John Coulthart, Rick Veitch, and Ben Wickey.
“Its contents include profusely illustrated instructional essays upon this ancient sect’s theories of magic, notably the key dissertation “Adventures in Thinking,” which gives reliable advice as to how entry into the world of magic may be readily achieved,” the official synopsis reads.
“Further to this, a number of ‘Rainy Day’ activity pages present lively and entertaining things to do once the magical state has been attained, including such popular pastimes as divination, etheric travel, and the conjuring of a colorful multitude of spirits, deities, dead people, and infernal entities from the pit, all of whom are sure to become your new best friends.”
If you’re not looking to accidentally summon dark forces into the land of the living, you can check out Moore’s comic books. After decades in the industry, Moore’s rich body of work includes the groundbreaking superhero tale Watchmen, the anarchistic V for Vendetta, and the creepy From Hell. Watchmen is available in several deluxe formats–including a luxurious hardcover version–while V for Vendetta comes with a replica of V’s signature mask. You know, the one that all the cool kids in Anonymous wear. Check out the best Alan Moore graphic novel deals in the list below.
