Alan Moore has not just one, but two new books out: The Great When, a fantasy novel set in London not long after World War II, and The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic, his collaboration with Steve Moore.
The New York Times has published a long review by Sam Thielman of both books, and my link gets you behind the paywall. The review is difficult to summarize, but here are a few sentences on the Bumper Book:
"Underpinning the whole project lies a conviction that the imagination is not merely an interesting place but a shared place, one where people can freely investigate the same priceless ideas. It’s a position that constant readers will find familiar from Moore’s comics, especially his and J.H. Williams’s Promethea, a sort of magical initiation of the reader disguised as a superhero series."
