Alan Moore and... Paolo Uccello

The Battle of San Romano
Excerpt from an article appeared on The Times newspaper, August 23, 2003, pag. 28.
"The true comic book"; interview by Angus Batey.
[...] He hopes to spend more time studying magic, and is considering a second novel. America's Best will continue, with his daughter, Leah, among the writers. A new comic-book idea is eating away at him - a book based on Paolo Uccello's Renaissance painting The Battle of San Romano and its numerous contexts. And Hollywood shows no sign of leaving him alone: X-Men writer David Hayter has written a screenplay for Watchmen that even meets with Moore's approval. [...]
This seems to be one of Moore's "lost projects". Even if considering what the journalist wrote about the Watchmen ("approval"?) I am not so sure he reported 100% true facts. :D
