Intersections

To continue the recent Ginsberg theme:

Howl II (the Moloch section)

Anyone who's a fan of the Minutemen era in Watchmen should read this/listen to this/know this/love this/eat this.

Moore named Moloch the Minutemen villain after the Moloch of mythology, who eats babies and all that lovely kind of thing.

Nevertheless, considering Moore's wild and crazy cultural fantasia of a brain/beard and Moloch's love for Blake (who in turn influenced Ginsberg) in some versions of canon, it's hard to believe that Moloch's characterization in the graphic novel doesn't take some influence from this section of Howl.
