On this edition of the Word Balloon podcast , we talk about all things
Watchmen, with the legendary co-creator, artist Dave Gibbons.
We discuss the Watchmen Motion Comic, which has released it's
2nd issue at Itunes and Amazon Video On Demand. Gibbons has another motion comic in the works, an adaptation of his Batman: Black and White story, The Black And White Bandit.

Dave also tells us about his upcoming book, Watching The Watchmen
to be released Oct 21st, and his take on the 2009 Zach Snyder film.

We also ask Dave about his recent conversations with his friend and collaborator writer Alan Moore, who has been very public concerning his negative feelings about the Watchmen film.

Plus we discuss behind the scenes details about his 2006 Vertigo graphic novel, The Originals, the 1985 Superman Annual (#11) he and Moore created, For The Man Who Has Everything, and his upcoming John Constantine story in Hellblazer #250.

Enjoyed it very much so. I liked that you mentioned how many times he gets asked about Alan Moore's take on the movie. That part made me giggle with fanboy glee. excellent show!

it's you, the only one i didn't give to rama was the voices bit i did.

they've just taken their time at rama on a couple of shows, like josh fialkov (because they were busy with baltimore con coverage) , and they didn't post gibbons until midday today, because mat brady posted his written interview with dave late yesterday.

[ashwin]

great interview. I had no idea he'd written Constantine before. I'll need to check that out.

John,
"Gibbons?!" I cried.
What a terrific surprise to find in my iTunes podcast inbox!
It's great to hear his comments on the Moore/movie controversies.
Good episode! Definitely bring him back!

Great episode!

You mentioned that Alan Moore commented on the "For the Man Who Has Everything" adaptation in Justice League. I looked online but didn't find anything. What did he say about the episode?

he was on a fanboy radio interview, and said he liked it.

Great interview, between this and Geek Syndicate I got a healthy double dose of Dave today.

Was it the con this weekend? I think it must have been as I saw Dave there and it was next to the IMAX showing Dark Knight. If so it was in Birmingham not London!
