As well as being a legendary writer and one of the all-time great comic creators, Alan Moore is also a practicing occultist. It was announced almost two decades ago that he would be distilling his knowledge in this esoteric area into a single accessible volume called The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic, made in collaboration with his friend and co-author, the late Steve Moore (no relation). Now the book finally has a release date.
Designed as "a clear and practical grimoire of the occult sciences," as well as a pictorial biography of many notable magicians, the 352 page hardback book will be published this October. It's a unique mix of writing, illustration, comics - including what seems to be Alan Moore's last works in sequential art following his retirement from the medium - and advice on how to perform rituals and cast spells.
