    Decided to make a seperate profile for uploading various Moore related works, one of which is the full cameo. I will probably delete this video in due time, to erase the shame of forgetting to add an entire fight scene.
    The Simpsons - Husbands and Knives (season 19, episode 7, airdate November 18, 2007)

      It's said that he did also like Harry Partridge's "Saturday Morning Watchmen" short and the Justice League Unlimited episode adapting "For The Man Who Has Everything". But that's as far as him liking adaptions of his work goes.

      So, he is just as guilty of corporations of exploiting properties. And since these stories are well regarded, he is also proof that explotation of franchises is not inherently a bad thing. Maybe this is why he doesn't like superheroes anymore and he has been focusing on original works over time.
