Alan Moore: "read terrible books"

But it really should have!

Also, this apparently is finally the only reason in existence for anyone to read Collin Wilson’s Spiderworld novels, which are possibly the worst trash I’ve ever forced myself through. And he’s the guy who wrote “The Star Vampires”, a book so bad that the movie based on it was somehow an improvement despite the only redeeming part being Patrick Stewart doing a “Four Lights” scene before he was in Star Trek. (They could only afford him because they saved money by not giving Mathilda May a wardrobe for the movie.) It was bad. And somehow better than the book, which was incoherent, and tied itself up into so many impossible to resolve plot-holes that the end of it was literally “Space Cops show up out of nowhere and arrest the bad guys”. And that is still better than Spiderworld.
