Who Watched the Watchmen Artist?
Nov. 2nd, 2008 07:29 pmSo, I went downtown to see Dave Gibbons talk about The Watchmen. He was interviewed by Mark Askwith (who did a comic follow-up of The Prisoner, and who also worked on Prisoners of Gravity -- the greatest science-fiction interview show ever), and then he was signing copies of his new book, Watching the Watchmen. At one point I questioned whether or not some of the people in the room were born when The Watchmen first came out.
I have a hard-bound volume of The Watchmen (the Graphitti one from 1988?) and I got Gibbons to sign it. How nerdy does it make me that I can put my hands on a 20-year-old comic on short notice?
