One of the delights of Alan Moore & Steve Moore's monumental Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic is the introduction to a wider audience of the extraordinary artist Ben Wickey. Ben has spent many years working in animation (both traditional and stop-motion) as well as illustration and comics, and his artwork brings to life one of the key features of the Bumper Book, "Old Moores' Lives of the Great Enchanters."

What's more, Ben is preparing his solo graphic novel debut, a huge 480-page opus about Giles Corey and the Salem Witch Trials, entitled More Weight: A Salem Story.

Ben recently spoke with Alan Moore World about his experience working on the Moon and Serpent Bumper Book, his creative relationship with Alan, and what awaits us in More Weight — with plenty of behind-the-scenes photos and art. Check it out!
