Alan Moore + Gorillaz

When I first read an allusion to this in an interview several weeks ago, I spent a confused minute reading and rereading the paragraph to make sure I'd gotten it right. Now, seeing it in The Guardian's headline, it still sounds like a bizarre meeting of worlds, like when you find out that your coworker is friends with your cousin:

Alan Moore to write libretto for Gorillaz duo

followed by the subtitle

Fans of graphic novels and Gorillaz rejoice! The comics legend is writing the lyrics for Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's next opera

The "next opera" bit makes me laugh because it makes it sound like this is just the latest in a series of operas Albarn and Hewlett have done.
