Dave McKean: [V for Vendetta] is the best book that Alan did.

Bob Fish: Better than Watchmen?
 

DMK: I'm not a fan of Watchmen anymore. I was. I loved it...

BF: Because of the superheroes?

DMK: Because of the superheroes. 
Whereas this one... it always seemed like a really strong personal vision, conceived with no pressures on it. It didn't have to use characters from here... 'cos Watchmen started with Charlton characters.

Whereas this is a total from scratch, "I can do anything I want and I feel passionate about this and I need to make this story". That's why I think this one survives. 

Watchmen now feels like the end of an era rather than this that feels much more like the beginning.

David Lloyd really was a terrific for this particular story. Endlessly inventive and beautifully crafted ideas. 

And I think this Alan's work will be the one that will be remembered from this particular era.
