though admittedly nothing very recent in Miller's case. They were both giants in the movement that took comics from throwaway pulp to serious art in the 80s and 90s. Does that give them licence to comment on politics and public demonstrations?
Funnily enough, I think maybe it does.
Both of them have based a great deal of their art on descriptions, criticisms and commentaries on (mostly allegorical) political and social situations (most obviously in Moore's "V for Vendetta").
Here's what Alan Moore has had to say in a Guardian Books article about Frank Miller's recent, pretty strong, criticism of the "occupy" movement. I have to say, I'm totally with Moore on this - but maybe Miller's recent positions are are a bit too Fox-News-like for European consumption. Perhaps I'm just betraying my pinko European prejudices.
