Altered Vista publishes exclusive Steve Moore interview

Saturday, June 21, 2008

Altered Vistas, generally best known for their Dalek Chronicles CGI reconstructions, has published an excellent interview with Steve Moore, creator of Abslom Daak: Dalek Killer

Steve Moore is one of the UK’s leading comic book writers – best known to Dalek fans for the creation of Abslom Daak, the chainsaw-wielding Dalek killer (sentenced to death or a career killing Daleks, he chose the latter).

This is a great in-depth interview with someone who doesn’t normally give interviews, so is a real treat.

The interview details not only Daak’s creation, influences and intended development, but also includes a full outline that Steve wrote in 1990 for a ten-part comic book mini-series called ‘After Daak’. It also has one or two other surprises, including full details of an outline for a Daak comic strip that was never completed – and which Steve can’t even remember writing!
 
The site also contains a review of Altered Vistas’ adaptation of Abslom Daak – Dalek Killer by Steve! (Not to mention a review of Black Legacy by Alan Moore, who wrote it back at the start of his illustrious career – can Altered Vistas achieve the impossible and adapt one of his scripts in a way that he enjoys? Find out on the site!)
