OK, OK, maybe I was wrong. But when you get right down to it, Alan Moore IS a brilliant writer, and if he felt that DC wasn't treating him right - and from what I've read, they weren't; maybe they've improved their standards since then, I wouldn't know - he had the perfect right to go elsewhere. And I HAVE heard some horror stories about DC, like the guy who wrote Superman for about ten years or so (his name escapes me, but he's fairly well-known) and was suddenly fired without the slightest bit of notice. Like, he walks into the office one day, and they're all like 'you're off the book, you don't work here any more, clear out your desk'. That doesn't sound like 'treating your writers well' to me.
