Cover art by Gary Frank for a marvel comic. Dr Doom sits in a regal chair at the end of a long table. There's a pitcher on the table. Rocket Raccoon is also on the table and he's toasting goblets with with Dr. Doom. There's a lovely bit of light coming in through a small window in the stone.

Homage of the cover to Fantastic Four #1, but this time it's the Justice League of America fighting the Mole Man's monster.

Homage of the cover of The Brave and the Bold #28, but this time it's the Invaders battling Starro the Conqueror.

Love these two homage flip covers from Alter Ego #33.

DOJ Plants Gun On Maine AUGUSTA, ME—In a stunning discovery that linked all 1.4 million residents to a grisly unsolved cold case, the U.S. Department of Justice escalated its attacks on Maine Friday when it allegedly planted a gun on the state. “Well, well, well, what do we have here?” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said as she held up […]

1. Don’t. 2. No, really don’t. 3. DEFINITELY don't—I mean it. 4. Whatever you might be imagining about a life of writing, it’s not like that. 5. OK, if you’re going to anyway, if you’re going to be a writer of any quality, you will have to commit yourself to writing— which is something that, when you’re young and idealistic, sounds incredibly easy to do, but you should commit yourself to writing almost as if you were some ancient Greek or Egyptian committing yourself to a god. If you do right by the god, then the god may, at some point in the future, reward you. But if you slack off and don’t do right by your talent or your god, then you are heading for a world of immense and unimaginable pain. If you have a gift that you choose to pursue, then you have to pursue it seriously. Don’t be half-assed about it, but realize what that commitment means. Committing yourself to writing will mean, to a certain extent, your writing will become the most important part of your life—and that’s a big thing to say. It can have a distancing effect upon other relationships. It can be sometimes quite a solitary life. If you’re committed to your writing, you’re going to spend most of your life indoors in a silent, empty room, concentrating on a pen and a piece of paper or their equivalent. Be prepared to take it seriously and be prepared to follow where it takes you, even if that takes you to some very strange places. This is by no means the most glamorous profession. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you. (published in Comics Buyer’s Guide #1349, September 24, 1999)

Alan Moore's Five Tips for Would-Be Comics Writers (1999)

1221/1250 From "Your ideas for change" Go to the projecta Stop wasting time on getting ideas from the general public rather than experts Look, most people haven't got a clue about how to run an incredibly complex organization like the NHS. Even less of them have any expertise in healthcare provision. Why are you wasting time, money and effort on an exercise like this? Speak to experts. Speak to people on the front line. Speak to academics who have actually put years of work into researching this. Heck, speak to other health services around the world who have good approaches. But what you don't need to do is sort through a million responses from people who think that "wokery" is ruining the NHS, or believe that if only everyone ate dandelions you could do away with ambulance sirens. Stop it. Just stop it.

By far the most sensible suggestion I've seen on the NHS Ideas For Change site from the 1250 contributions to date...
