smoky man: Can you introduce yourself to the Italian readers?
Leah Moore: Certainly, my name is Leah Moore, I was born in Northampton England in 1978, I began writing comics a couple of years ago, and I am now co-writing my second series with my husband John.
sm: Before breaking into comics, which was your previous occupation? It's just a curiosity...
LM: I was a part time box-office assistant, and barmaid in a theatre, before that I was a student.

sm: Talking about comics, which are you influences?
And which comic do you currently read or what kind of story do you prefer?
LM: I would say my influences range from the
Asterix
and
Tin-tin
which I read as a kid, to
Love&Rockets
that I loved especially as a teenager and the quality comics that are out these days.
I enjoy things like
The Goon
and
Hellboy,
and the new
Swamp Thing
is excellent!
It's really regained some of the grisly 'horror comic' detail it had originally.
sm: Your first story was a short published in
Tom Strong Terrific Tales #5.
[It was pretty brilliant, congrats.]
