The Bride of Pressbutton
In British music magazine Sounds, in the issue dated 25th December 1982, there was a four page The Stars My Degradation story called The Bride of Pressbutton. This was both written and drawn by Alan Moore, under the name Curt Vile. I bought this copy on eBay on a whim, as I usually only buy them in bulk, and without knowing it was the Christmas issue. Normally the strips were half a page, meaning that this Christmas story was eight times longer than usual. So, this is my Christmas present to Alan Moore fandom worldwide: A story from 24 years ago, not seen or collected since. If you want to see more of these strips, go look at [info]4colorheroes's Sounds Magazine Project page on his excellent Moore for Free site.

Ta for that. Probably the first time I've read it since it came out. I think I did keep some of the Curt Vile strips at the time but ended up getting rid of them. Shame.
