The celebrated author of Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, self-styled anarchist and one time Simpsons guest, Alan Moore, has told Mustard that he's hooked up with Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett for their operatic follow-up to Monkey: Journey to the West.

The bearded wonder dropped the news while talking about the imminent launch of his new bi-monthly magazine Dodgem Logic, saying:

"Then the issue after that [the third] we’ve hopefully got Gorillaz onboard. They came down to Northampton last week because we're planning for me to do the libretto on their next opera project. Being an opportunist, I of course asked them if they'd be prepared to contribute some pages to Dodgem Logic. Rather than just doing an interview with them, I thought it would be interesting to hand over a few pages for them to curate."

Shame it's an opera, but I'm sure it'll be very good. An advance "well done" to them all.
