Who saw this coming? not me, but i’m excited! Alan Moore ( the writer behind, Watchmen, V for Vendetta ) and Gorillaz are working on a musci / graphic novel collab in… Moore’s new bi-monthly magazine, Dodgem Logic (out this November ), will feature contributions by Gorillaz in it’s third issue. And that is just the beginning of the collabs in the works.
“[Gorillaz] came down to Northampton last week because we’re planning for me to do the libretto on their next opera project. Being an opportunist, I of course asked them if they’d be prepared to contribute some pages to Dodgem Logic. Rather than just doing an interview with them, I thought it would be interesting to hand over a few pages for them to curate.”
This would be a followup to Damon Albarn’s “Monkey: Journey to the West,” opera. A redesigned Chinese legend, “follows the story of The Monkey King, a hyperactive ape who gains immortality after leading a revolt against heaven,”. If thats is what Damon came up on his own i can only imagine what they will come up with now, with Alan Moore helping out.
