Although he's left the world of comics behind, it's a pretty great time to be an Alan Moore fan. The author published his long-awaited Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic in October this year. The same month also saw the release of The Great When, the first novel in his planned Long London quintet. Now it has been announced that The Great When will be adapted for television – and in a move that will shock long-time fans, Moore himself is involved!
Deadline is reporting that production company Playground won the rights to the book in a bidding war, with the intention of adapting the novel (about hapless hero Dennis Knuckleyard's adventures in a multi-dimensional post-war London) and its planned sequels into "a tentpole, multi-season event series."
