January 27th, 2023 - 4:53pmI remember meeting Dave Gibbons at the London Comic Marts in Methodist Central Hall in the eighties during my teens – He was drawing Doctor Who for Marvel and 2000AD back then – before Watchmen came out. I’m sure this is going to be a very interesting book to read. He’s one of Britain’s best comic book artists with such a distinctive style of his own.

January 27th, 2023 - 5:55pmI was at that too. My first convention. There was a snow speeder from Empire Strikes Back. Ray Harryhausen and Caroline Munro were there too.
Forgive me if I’m wrong but isn’t that where DG and Alan Moore first met?

I had the pleasure of meeting Dave Gibbons when he came to do a talk at my school back in 2008 about his life and career, just before the Watchmen movie came out – he stuck around and did autographs afterwards too. I can’t remember all too much but I imagine the book could be a good refresher 🙂
