The main thing I wanted to do was not pastiche or do a homage to The Spirit but to do a homage to the spirit of The Spirit, if you like. The very best thing about Eisner's Spirit was the incredible experimentation, the constant attempts at new storytelling techniques. -- Alan Moore
It's just a pity that those old "Phantom Lady" stories, other than the fact that she's got such wonderful cleavage, there was nothing else to recommend those stories at all; they weren't at all interesting. So with "Cobweb," what I decided to do was to take this kitsch, camp, '50s glamorous crime-fighter character, like the Blonde Phantom or the Black Cat or the Phantom Lady, any of those, and to use it playfully, so that we could do whatever we wanted, where we could jump around and show, I dunno, a five-year-old Li'l Cobweb if we wanted to. -- Alan Moore
