One More for the Emergency Moderator Hologram at LFCC, Dave Gibbons
I am your emergency moderator hologram, what is the nature of the moderation emergency? This week, I am at London Film And Comic Con, it's the last day, I've been drafted in to moderate three panels at the last minute, and I had the 2000 AD panel planned for 1pm today as well. But it seems there is another moderation emergency and I will also be the moderator for the Who Watches Dave Gibbons panel at 3pm today. A career retrospective and a plug for the upcoming book written with LFCC Comic Zone organise Tim Pilcher, I haven't actually read the book. But my plan is to just let Dave speak for 45 minutes without hesitation, repetition and deviation and get out of his way. Double page, double-page, gotta get a double page. I wonder if I should bring up Watchmensch?
