People think he's Dave Gibbons. Both British, both with similar accents, both of a certain age and a certain male pattern baldness, both wear glasses and both have a creative history with Alan Moore. But not the same person Apparently. This Sunday, as part of the Stoke Newington Literary Festival, Peter Hogan will be interviewing Dave Gibbons on[...]

It may look like $13 to us Brits. But in the US, clicking on this link will give you the complete Watchmen for $4 on your Kindle. I think. Try it and let

If not, you can see more of the exhibition in these three previous Bleeding Cool posts, or buy prints here. Dave Gibbons signed a hundred prints (including mine) of what is likely to be the show's signature piece, "Whooose?" Displayed in the entrance to Orbital, it is incredibly arresting. As you can see ex-comics retailer Jon Browne[...]

In a couple of weeks, Orbital Comics in London will be filling its gallery with pieces below, and more, comic book artists re-appropriating the works of Roy Lichtenstein, tracking them back to their original source material and then creating a new comic book image that credits the original artist, curated by Rian Hughes and Jason[...]

Patrick Dane told you this was likely to happen back in October of last year, and now it looks like Fox has tied a bow on it by fending off a play from Universal. Vaughn has already completed the script for this film with his writing partner Jane Goldman, and his Marv Films will finance and[...]

Watchmen's ending reportedly caused a rift between editor Len Wein and writer Alan Moore. Has Wein taken the opportunity to address this in Before Watchmen?

These things are forever open to debate, but I'm having a hard time coming up with too many cover images from the history of American comics that I'd definitively call more iconic, more memorable, more instantly evocative of what makes comics what they are, than the cover of Watchmen #1 by Dave Gibbons, which kicked[...]

Chris Thompson writes; [audio:http://popculturehound.net/podcast/PCHPodcastEpisode20.mp3] This week I take a look back at the absolutely amazing Malta Comic-Con I've recently returned from – then Taylor & I discuss some of the gems found there, including Sean Azzopardi's latest release Same Day Return. We also present a very special panel I conducted with comics industry legends Dave Gibbons (Watchmen, Secret[...]

It's been rumoured that Dave Gibbons was paid somewhere closer to half a million dollars to, basically "bless" the Before Watchmen prequel series with a couple of sentences But Alan Moore appears to believe he was offered a lot more In an interview back in May at the Nottingham Contemporary, he told the Left Lion[...]

Dave Gibbons discussing Before Watchmen and more: "I didn't have a lot of input in it To me anything to do with the movies – as far as I'm concerned, what Alan and I did was the Watchmen graphic novel and a couple of illustrations that came out at the same time Everything else – the[...]

This is Dave Gibbons first comment on Before Watchmen since his words quoted in the DC Press Release that, even then, seemed rather awkwardly – or rather precisely – chosen, so as not to give them any real blessing. Butwhen talking about his new Madefire comic and his new gaming work for GameCity Nights, Dave Gibbons[...]

Once you've done Before Watchmen, anything is suddenly morally acceptable. So, from Dynamite Entertainment, here is the Watchmen toaster. I do hope

Jeff Pedigo has filed in the blank panels with images as seen in the Black Freighter film from the Watchmen movie. [issuu width=420 height=299 backgroundColor=%23222222 documentId=120708124444-28250e7c6c4a4731bfce6b6b30d0a2e1 name=tales_of_the_black_freighter_307_ username=richjohnston tag=bleedingcool unit=px v=2] When that movie came out, DC had planned to create and publish a Tales Of The Black Freighter comic, with Dave Gibbons filling in the panel[...]

It still seems to preserve the comic book experience while stratching it as much as possible.

MTV Geek clipped the thoughts of  number of Before Watchmen creators for their opinions on the Alan Moore controversy concerning DC's decision to publish

Mark Millar, Frank Quitely, Dave Gibbons and Nacho Vigalondo held host to the Millarworld panel at Kapow in London today Giving us a first look at this Quitely Jupiter's Children cover… and a barrage of Hit Girl and Secret Society imagery. Dave Gibbons talked about that, while Mark prefers American settings for his comics, given their[...]

  Alan Moore once described DC Comics' repeated attempts to publish his work after he walked away from the company as that of a "'a really weird,

What's the most impressive about the first issue that I read was how Cooke kept many of the visual motifs from Dave Gibbons' original work while maintaining a unique voice. CBR: The story begins with Hollis Mason writing "Under the Hood" and he begins to tell his story when he pulls from a storage box the[...]

We ran a couple of Before Watchmen August issue covers last week. But we didn't run this one for Ozymandias #2, with Jae Lee showing Ozymandias in a

It was hailed as a creator owned book at the time, and DC certainly told Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons that it was And that's what DC believed at the time A quick check back to 1985 through Comics Journal back issues gives us this; In 1985, it was not a work for hire comic, as[...]

An utterly fascinating account of some DC editorial history caps off the week:  "Shortly after the completion of the Watchmen series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, DC's main editors went on retreat The retreatees included Karen Berger, Mike Gold, Denny O'Neil, Mike Carlin, and Andy Helfer The brain trust returned with three "sequels" to[...]

But I didn't. This month's issue of Superman, by Giffen and Jurgens, gives us the Wildstorm villain Helspont in his war against the Daemonites on Earth, but in doing so captured Superman, in a rather familiar fashion. In a Superman Annual back in the eighties, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons gave us a tale, For The Man[...]
