Ha! Wow, what a bittersweet thing that must be to realize for a near-literal child of Disney! Whereas I, meanwhile, have had to deal with being hyperactive and egotistical in my own Daffyish ways!
If it ever gets back into print, I wholeheartedly urge you to track down Don Rosa's THE LIFE AND TIMES OF SCROOGE MCDUCK. I couldn't understand why there was so much hype around a bloody duck comic, until I read it and... well, it's now one of my all-time favorite comics. I need to track down the original classics by Carl Barks, who is worshiped for his duck comics. Arguably, he did more for Donald and company than any of the Disney cartoons themselves have (he created Scrooge, among other characters)!
Oh wow, you've only read those two Alan Moore comics?! Egad, those aren't the best examples of his work! Have you tried WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA, and/or TOP TEN? The last one, I can't possibly imagine you or anyone else not adoring. It's pure wonderfulness: a city where every single person--right down to the cats and mice--are superheroes, and Top Ten are the police force that keep 'em in line!
Well stick with me, kid, and you'll learn plenty about the wide, wide world of comics! I worked at a comic shop for eight years, and I pride myself on being able to customize comic recommendations to people, plus ease them into different and awesome stuff. I bet I could hook you up.
