For some reason I think it's going to take a Tolkien-like figure to push comics into the big leagues of literature. Folks like Moore are amateurs at best and complete grown-up teenagers at worse when it comes to the content of their narratives. Sometimes they hit upon a quality that's endearing like what Moore did with Rorschach despite his insane form of moral abolutism, but equally he fucks up with characters like Doctor Manhattan (whom seems to be both sexually and intellectually frigid). Then again, what the hell do I know, I've never been published. *shrugs*
