<i>I mean, why not just start with a new character?</i>

I'd guess Liefeld came up to Moore at a convention and said, "Hey, I'm breaking away from Image. Want to redesign my whole universe?" and Moore said, "Well, OK, if that's what you really want ..."

I'm sure both Moore & Liefled saw benefits out of the alliance. Moore got a really nice customer basis for his new reconstructionism, without having to go to either Marvel or DC, both of which he was feuding with at the time. Meanwhile, Liefeld got people to read his comics because, for the first time ever, he had an actual writer on board. (The only Supremes in my collection are those Alan Moore issues, v1 #41- v2 #6. I'm sure I'm not the only one for which that's true.)
