from what I've seen of Moore's work he has everything planned to the last detail,
Definitely, but I think that he got worse, 'Big Numbers' being the crunch point. I mean, it was soon after he started calling himself a magician and there was (allegedly) a lot of geomancy and hidden messages (chaos magick/theory) embedded in the story/artwork of that. Kinda like what Grant Morrison was doing with 'Invisibles' trying to make his work as much of a magical act as a story.
Of course, this all could be part of the marketing tales, chaos magic and the occult was definitely a common theme among the lives of fanboys of the time. Except me of course, I always thought it was horribly internally inconsistent shite ;).
Yeah, he does come accross like a grumpy bastard, but he also comes off as very self deprecating and fully aware of his own flaws.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't that hung up about the artwork to the same level of detail with Halo Jones. This is only a guess.
