Alan Moore recites ode to Ditko

It's a pretty well-known fact that the design of Rorschach in Moore's epic book The Watchmen was fashioned after Steve Ditko's character The Question. What's less known is that the character of Rorshach is drawn more from Ditko's later objectivist work Mr A.

Moore even mentions this later when he explains what he had heard what Ditko thought about Rorshach. Moore quotes Ditko as saying "Rorshach is like Mr A. Except he's crazy!"
