The Disinformation Company now offers a chance to enter Alan Moore's innovative world through this special 2-disc collector's set featuring the riveting documentary THE MINDSCAPE OF ALAN MOORE and over three hours of bonus footage.

Disinformation: The Podcast hosts Raymond Wiley and Joe McFall spend an hour talking to Alan about his background, the upcoming League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic release, and the acclaimed disinformation® documentary THE MINDSCAPE OF ALAN MOORE: the only feature film production in which Alan Moore collaborated on, and personally granted permission to use his work. Raymond and Joe also interview a true visionary — DEZ VYLENZ — producer and director of THE MINDSCAPE OF ALAN MOORE.

NEW YORK, NY — As recent Comic-Cons have set records for attendance, much of the "buzz" centers on Zack Snyder's eagerly anticipated, big screen adaptation of the Hugo Award-winning cult classic graphic novel Watchmen, authored by legendary comic book writer Alan Moore. Now, in the first and only documentary in which the reclusive, visionary and innovative Moore participates, his hugely-devoted fan base and the soon-to-be-indoctrinated can enter the mind of this modern-day philosopher, artist and magician.

This exclusive 2-disc collector's set, features over three hours of extras that further illuminate the masterful mind of Moore, including:

Interviews with Melinda Gebbie (Lost Girls), Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), David Lloyd (V For Vendetta), Kevin O'Neill (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) and Jose Villarubia (Promethia and Mirror of Love)
