When I read quotes like that, I realize how much Moore must have idolized Michael Moorcock when he was young (and maybe still does). It's reminiscent of Epic Pooh, Moorcock's essay about Tolkien and epic fantasy more broadly.
Though, if we're being honest, I like the critique of the immaturity of genre fiction more when Moore makes it. That might just be because I think Moore is the better writer, but I haven't read nearly as much Moorcock so it isn't exactly fair.
