Neil Gaiman Reveals His Contributions to Alan Moore's Watchmen Script
Though best known to many comic readers for his landmark series The Sandman, Neil Gaiman also had a minor hand in helping Alan Moore with his own seminal comic series, Watchmen. Gaiman and Moore have been long friends, with the former crediting the later in helping him learn how to even write comics, so some offhand back-and-forths between the two have no doubt occurred.
"That was my entire contribution to Watchmen, although one I was incredibly proud of having done," Gaiman told the outlet."Initially he phoned me up and said, 'You are an educated man. There's a quote, 'Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?' I can't remember where it's from, but I want to quote this.' And I went and checked and I said, \OK, it's from the Book of Job.
In a counter to Moore's relationship with DC Comics, Gaiman has maintained a cordial relationship with the publisher and also holds a measure of control over Sandman, unlike Moore and Watchmen. Gaiman went on to reveal in the same interview that part of that came after a contract renegotiation with the publisher.
When asked if that deal was why there aren't different silly spinoffs like Sandman Babies or After Sandman, Gaiman noted:"That's more respect. That wasn't written into anything. And it's one of those things where I do not take it for granted. It is absolutely possible in this weird corporate world that tomorrow Warner Discovery would sell DC to some other organization and the other organization would go,"Well, Sandman's huge. You did that Netflix series.
0commentsThe Sandman's first season is now streaming on Netflix, Gaiman teased to Rolling Stone that the series is"certainly on track" for a renewal.
