ENDYMION'S DREAM: A Celebration of Steve Moore with Alan Moore, John Higgs and Andrew O'Neill

In March 2014, British comics lost one of its most innovative and and original voices in the form of Steve Moore. The father of 2000 AD's Future Shocks, Steve gave life to a host of memorable characters including Laser Eraser and Axel Pressbutton for Warrior, and the psychotic Dalek killer, Abslom Daak for the Doctor Who Magazine. 

Join us at Brompton Cemetery Chapel with Strange Attractor press to mark the publication of Steve Moore’s final, posthumous book, “Selene: The Moon Goddess and the Cave Oracle”, an examination of the origins, dream-explorations and mystical practices centred on the Greek deity Selene. The life of Steve Moore and the enduring mythology of the moon goddess will be discussed in conversation with Steve’s close friend and regular collaborator Alan Moore, the legendary author and graphic novelist, John Higgs, the author of 'Watling Street' and editor of ‘Selene' and Andrew O’Neill, the comedian and author 'A History of Heaven Metal'.
