Phil Fleischmann: Yes. Was that indeed his goal?
Jatoha: He's done his part
Woelf: Probably - but it was a noble effort.
GrimJester: I don't think he really set out to; nevertheless he's done a damned fine job so far...
chezzilla: Negatory....Da Watchman is gonna be a great movie
FezAZ: No. He (along with others like Frank Miller and Brian Bendis) have done a wonderful job making comics relevant again.
FreeMorpheme: If anyone can do it, that beardy weirdo can, bless him.
ChukLife: I didn't know it was up to him.
aleo09: don't know
lordkuato: Who is Alan Moore?
shteev: I didn't think he needed to, after Will Eisner invented the graphic novel and everything...
Keonyn: Maybe
DHEK: Huh? What's the context behind this? I'm not familiar with this...
elirlandes: Alan Moore would be the first to admit that the comic book is essentially moribund, in commercial terms; but as an artistic medium, he has transformed it utterly.

atlantean_tauri: Quite possibly, my friend. Quite possibly.
jellospike: I don't know much about comic books
ssmooth: The reason I ask is, this was Moore's stated purpose when he started the America's Best Comics line (Tom Strong, Promethea, Top Ten, etc.). While he's put some pizzazz into the medium, I don't think he's altered its fate.
