There are legendary artists, and there are legendary artists and then there are legendary artists who have a bit of Tull history lurking in the depths of their studios.
Dave Gibbons [born 14 April 1949] is a renowned English comic book artist and writer. He is probabaly best known for his collaborations with the quirkily unique and distinguished comic writer Alan Moore, which includes the universally acclaimed mini-series "Watchmen" and the Superman story "For the Man Who Has Everything".
He also was an artist for the UK magazine 2000 AD, for which he contributed a large body of work from its first issue in 1977.
Gibbons departed from 2000 AD briefly in the late 1970s/early 1980s to became the lead artist on the Doctor Who Weekly/Monthly magazine for which he drew the main comic strip from issue #1 until #69
Works other than comics include providing the background art for the 1994 computer game Beneath a Steel Sky and the cover to K, the 1996 debut album by new wave psychedelic rock band Kula Shaker.
In 2007, he served as a consultant on the film "Watchmen", which was adapted from the book, and released in March 2009.
He has worked for some of the major comic and graphic novel publishers
Amalgam'
Dark Horse
DC
IPC
2000 AD
Marvel
An impressive list and an even more impressive body of work, he's an artist I have always liked.
Oh, and Dave also worked on the cover of Too Old to Rock'n'Roll.....
Not only have I liked his work for sometime he's also someone I have been trying to pin down for a JTB Q&A for sometime and he's now agreed to do a short Q&A with me on his involvement and work on the album and his other work.
If you would like to add a few questions, please feel free. He would like to keep it short at present and I'd like to respect this as much as possible, but please ask away and we'll see what we can get through!
