When British comedy series The IT Crowd returns in May, it will have some spectacular company in the form of Alan Moore – artistically speaking, that is.
The Moore-centric poster above, featuring cover artwork from U.K. satire mag Mustard, will appear on the set in The IT Crowd's fourth season. The poster pictures Moore standing in front of memorable panels from his indispensable comics, including Watchmen, V for Vendetta and Lost Girls.
The poster was suggested by Mustard mogul Alex Musson, after IT Crowd writer Graham Lineman fired off an online request for "cool bits" to show off on the show about IT workers. The prop seems perfect: Mustard's second issue already appeared in The IT Crowd's geektastic office in Season 2, and Moore's own lauded zine Dodgem Logic serves up two pages of Mustard content with each issue.
Like the art? Mustard is offering it as a free wallpaper download. Bonus points goes to Wired.com readers who can correctly identify all the panels. Cheaters can check their Moore math at Mustard's site which, as always, has all the answers.
