Alan Moore interviewed by Gary Groth for the Comics Journal back in 1991, on MP3:

This month, The Comics Journal Audio Archive pays a visit to TCJ #140 (February 1991), which contained the final installment of a three-part interview with British comics writer Alan Moore by editor and publisher Gary Groth. Moore, fresh off of his success with Watchmen (and subsequent break with DC Comics), had just embarked upon an experiment in self-publishing with the Bill Sienkiewicz-drawn mini-series Big Numbers. In these excerpts, conducted by telephone, Moore discusses some of the other projects he had been working on (Miracleman, A Small Killing and The Lost Girls) before settling into an extended dialogue concerning From Hell, the magnum opus created in collaboration with cartoonist Eddie Campbell.
