Qualche reazione ai prequel di Watchmen
Partiamo dal presupposto che sappiate che la DC ha pensato bene di mettere in piedi una malsana avventura che porterà alla creazione di una serie di prequel del capolavoro immortale di Moore&Gibbons, Watchmen. Volevamo oggi raccontarvi di qualche reazione a questa idea, ad iniziare dalla, prevedibilissima, sentenza di Alan Moore stesso: "Completely shameless". Se ne volete delle altre (sempre in inglese), le trovate dopo il salto.
Dave Gibbons (ovviamente, il disegnatore di Watchmen):
<i>The
original series of WATCHMEN is the complete story that Alan Moore and I
wanted to tell. However, I appreciate DC's reasons for this initiative
and the wish of the artists and writers involved to pay tribute to our
work. May these new additions have the success they desire</i>
Dan DiDio e Jim Lee (della DC):
<i>It's
our responsibility as publishers to find new ways to keep all of our
characters relevant. After twenty five years, the Watchmen are classic characters
whose time has come for new stories to be told. We sought out the best
writers and artists in the industry to build on the complex mythology of
the original</i>
Brian Azzarello (autore di Before Watchmen: Rorschach):
<i>that
we all get in there and we tell the best possible stories we can and we
reconnect these characters. It's 25 years later. Let's make them vital
again</i>
Darwyn Cooke (autore di Before Watchment: Minutemen e BW: Silk Spectre):
<i>I
don't feel any more trepidation than Alan [Moore] did by refitting the
Charlton characters. It feels like the right time and the right place
and I think I have a strong idea</i>
E infine, Joseph Michael Straczynski (autore di Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan e BW: Nite Owl):
<i>The
perception that these characters shouldn't be touched by anyone other
than Alan is both absolutely understandable and deeply flawed. As good
as these characters are - and they are very good indeed - one could make
the argument, based on durability and recognition, that Superman is the
greatest comics character ever created. But I don't hear Alan or anyone
else suggesting that no one other than Shuster and Siegel should have
been allowed to write Superman. Certainly Alan himself did this when he
was brought on to write Swamp Thing, a seminal comics character created
by Len Wein.
Leaving aside the fact that the
Watchmen characters were variations on pre-existing characters created
for the Charleton Comics universe, it should be pointed out that Alan
has spent most of the last decade writing very good stories about
characters created by other writers, including Alice (from Alice in
Wonderland), Dorothy (from Wizard of Oz), Wendy (from Peter Pan), as
well as Captain Nemo, the Invisible Man, Jeyll and Hyde, and Professor
Moriarty (used in the successful League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). I
think one loses a little of the moral high ground to say, "I can write
characters created by Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Robert Louis Stevenson,
Arthur Conan Doyle and Frank Baum, but it's wrong for anyone else to
write my characters."
The whole point of having
great characters is the opportunity to explore them more deeply with
time, re-interpreting them for each new age. That DC allowed these
characters to sit on a shelf for over two decades as a show of respect
is salutary, but there comes a time when good characters have to
re-enter the world to teach us something about ourselves in the
present</i>
Siete convinti? Noi, francamente, non troppo.
