75th Surfman Award: Dave Gibbons - Watchmen Talk & Signing


Today, at the World's Biggest Bokkstore, Dave Gibbons regaled fans of Watchmen with many a story about working on the series, and lets not forget that this originated as a 12 issue comic series, before it bacame the graphic novel sensation it is known as today, but I digress, that is just my own personal bias of issue vs graphic novel...anyways, Dave spoke for about 1 hour and than gave a short Q&A, followed by a 3 limit signing. This appearance coincided with the release of Dave's new book Watching the Watchmen designed by the talented Chip Kidd, who recently released his own book Bat-Manga, but thats another story. Anyways, this new book of Dave's is a collection of all the odd bits of drawings, notes, Alan Moore scripts and issue time-line charts. I can't wait to check it out on Dec.25th, I decided to wrap it up as present for myself until than. Yeah - crazy!!
