MORSELS
Issue #2 of Eddie Campbell's "Egomania" magazine is currently being solicited for January, 2003 availability in comic book specialty shops. The issue features "the most indepth interview that Alan Moore has ever given on the subject of his magical practices." A substantial excerpt posted to Campbell's website reveals Moore to be in fine form: humorous, insightful and entirely at ease with his interlocutor: "Now, I know that this will probably bring a lot of feelings of bitterness and jealousy to the fore between us, Ed, all because I've kept my hair colour so much better than you yourself have... Please don't hate me just because I'm lovely."
