“Things that we did in Watchmen on paper could be frankly horrible or sensationalist or unpleasant if you were to interpret them literally through the medium of cinema. When it’s just lines on paper, the reader is in control of the experience – it’s a tableau vivant. And that gives it the necessary distance. It’s not the same when you’re being dragged through it at 24 frames per second,” Alan Moore talks to the Guardian’s Steve Rose ahead of the first part of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century coming out at the end of May and the new one-volume edition of The Lost Girls in April.
