Dave Gibbons signs at Forbidden Planet today

Don't forget that this is happening today - have fun if you're going

Forbidden Planet have announced (here) that Dave Gibbons will be signing his anecdotal autobiography, Confabulations, at their London store on Saturday 11th March from 1-2pm

They say...

Confabulation: An Anecdotal Autobiography is a comprehensive, in-depth, and personal journey through the eyes of one of the worlds most famous comics creators! Presented as alphabetically chaptered memoirs, these extensive anecdotes cover a legendary life in comics, from working on Doctor Who and meeting Tom Baker to being inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame. Gibbons also discusses, for the first time anywhere, the reasons why he and fellow Watchmen cocreator Alan Moore no longer speak.

Packed with over 300 iconic, rarely seen, and unpublished art pieces and photographs, Confabulation: An Anecdotal Autobiography not only entertains, but peels back the layers of a fascinating career in comics.

All signing events may be subject to short notice change or cancellation. Please keep checking our Events Page for up to date information

Signed copies can be pre-ordered here for £44.99
