Respuesta: Grant Morrison

Hay una columna (en Inglés) escrita por Steven Grant en CBR donde menciona la diferencia entre Grant Morrison y Alan Moore.
Es una columna de opinión, pero me pareció interesante.

Funny side story: a friend in the film trade last week mentioned that an awful lot of writers in film and TV now, the ones who are also interested in comics, cite Alan Moore as a major influence, then noted that he was hard pressed to spot any Alan Moore influence in their work. And he wondered why writers like Grant Morrison don't also get cited.

Which is a pretty easy riddle. Alan, bless him, still holds "hip" credentials; claiming to have been influenced by Alan is still supposed by many to give a little rub, and most people really don't understand the difference between liking someone's work and being influenced by it; the work that truly influenced us, should we even realize it, is often not work that puts us in the best light when its name is spoken aloud. For better or worse, Alan also turned out to be the apotheosis of the "everything you know is wrong" style of comics story, and did it impressively enough that everyone who reads it thinks they can do it to. Most can't, because underlying most of Alan's work are cold mechanisms that push stories to their inevitable conclusions, and the mechanisms are what most can't even see to replicate. Because Alan's great gift is to shield the mechanisms from view with good characters and sharp presentation; it's exactly the sort of magic trick I talked about last week.

Whereas Morrison is really Moore's Zoroastrian opposite; if Alan is the great lord of order, Grant is our lord of chaos. Morrison's great gift is to present utter insanity brilliantly. But that's why most people who imitate Morrison don't broadcast it, while they wear their Moore imitations on their sleeves; Moore's stories are built on their own implacable logics, Morrison's on shifting tides of desire and chance. A half-assed Alan Moore knockoff reads like a half-assed Alan Moore knockoff, which is often enough for them to get away with it. A half-assed Grant Morrison knockoff, though, reads like the writer is either very lazy or brain-damaged.

The lesson: if you're going to copy someone, figure out why their work works first. Odds are it's something you can't copy. So you're on your own after all.

Como escritor, mi favorito, me atrevo a decir que a la altura del genio de Alan Moore.

Como persona, después de verlo en un documental me pareció tan imbécil, que mejor no conocerlo y simplemente disfrutar de sus obras.
