Its only movie adaptations that he's asked his name to be removed from, there was a great interview with him on the BBC last week, apparently he's disgusted with Hollywood versions of his work, for example in "From Hell" having his dour policeman replaced with a opium smoking dandy and "The league of extraordinary gentlemen" story being changed so much that it became a film with a similar name to his comic.

Alan Moore is a odd chap he has two wives, practices chaos magick and lives in Wolverhampton, which incidentally provides the background to all his comics. Not to mention about 15 years ago he claimed, that he was never going to write comics again because he'd met a shaman, that showed him he was god, so he was only going to perform spoken word performance art, thank goodness that period of his life passed.
Oh and if you ever see a picture or footage of him its usually in close-up so that his hair and beard fill the screen and his uncle is Patrick Moore, the pop-eyed pug-ugly "sky at night" boffin.
