Comic Book Historians & Patriot Comics' David Gibbons interview by Alex Grand and Mike Alderman, delves into Gibbons' self-taught art career, transition from surveying to comics through 'Fantasy Advertiser,' and early influences from DC Comics. He discusses his beginnings in underground comics, contributions to horror and action genres, and his style's evolution through '2000AD' and 'Dan Dare.' The talk highlights his notable collaborations, including with Alan Moore on Superman and the creation of 'Watchmen,' why they stopped talking, and his journey to becoming an Eisner Award-winning artist for 'The Originals.' Gibbons also shares insights on being the UK's first Comics Laureate, his foray into video game design, adapting to digital media, and advice for aspiring comic artists.
