"Still others thrive , swaggering ex-pats of reality who work the export angle, crafting dreamland bric-a-brac for sale at a considerable mark-up. The oneiric carpet-baggers: artists, writers, sculptors, sorcerers.
Tycoons of fancy, speculating, long on made-up futures. Sauntering the silvery parades. A tall-tale aristocracy.
Moon Dandies with their pockets full of brushes, pens and fireflies. Plumes of imagery are kicked up from their spats at every step."
- from Alan Moore's Snakes & Ladders
Snakes & Ladders: Audio CD w/ Tim Perkins and Graphic Novel w/ Eddie Campbell
I also highly recomend the Disease of Language hardcover, collecting The Birth Caul, Snakes & Ladders and a fascinating interview of Moore by Campbell (edit: sadly it appears to be out of stock).
