Today we are delving into another secret history of comic books, and this one concerns one of the greatest, one of the most influential names in the history of comics, perhaps even literature itself, one Mr. Allen Moore, the wizard behind watchmen from hell, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and the incredibly decorated acclaimed work on Swamp Thing. Did you know that Alan Moore changed the history of Green Lantern?

His short stories created giant events that were parsed

and that that were studied and eventually evolved into these giant history-making events

that changed Green Lantern forever.

Get ready to charge your batteries because we got a good one for you today on an all-new episode of Robeservation.

Hey, everybody, and welcome to another edition of Robeservations.

I am your host, Rob Leifeld. I have been in the comic biz

for over 40 years making the comic books, producing the comic books, editing the comic books,

sometimes distributing the comic books. I have worn so many different hats. I love talking about

comics and that's what we do here on Rob Observations. We put the focus on comic books and comic book related materials, whether they be

giant blockbuster movies, maybe your favorite streaming show. We find a way to work mentions,

the action figures, toys, statues, and video games into this show.

But above all else, the most important thing we do is we shine the light on the comic

book creators, the all-important men and women who have generated the ideas and the characters

with which all of your streaming shows, blockbuster movies, games, action figure, statues

are based on.

I have been fortunate in my time in this business as both a fan, picking comics up,

seven years old off the creaky spinner racks of my youth, which is literally now 50 years

of consuming comic books and a pro for a 10 year a pro for for 40 years

I got hired when I was 18 years old by the end of 1985 I was making comic books and here we are in 2025 I was getting paid to make comic books. And here we are in 2025.

I was getting paid to make comic books as an 18-year-old.

Finally broke through to DC and Marvel Comics at 19.
