Dave Gibbons signing at Borders!

[Avalon]

Well, Im kind of new here, and I don't know protocol for posting one of these, but I didn't see this posted, so I thought I would post it.

 

Apparently Dave Gibbons is doing a signing on March 1st at a Borders in LA. He is signing copies of his book WATCHING THE WATCHMEN.

same here

 

Maybe we could split the gas and expenses Avalon.

 

And yeah, I think it's a good idea to find out what the limit is as well before we can do anything.

Yeah, this was posted a while back, at least in Comic Events. The problem is that it's the same Sunday as WonderCon and MegaCon so a lot of us are busy at those shows. I hope Borders allows more than just the book to be signed.

 

I hope you get to go, fingerprint.ink! If so, have fun.

According to this, Gibbons will be signing "Watchmen and Watching the Watchmen." Of course, that may mean he will sign copies of the trade paperback that Borders has for sale. My guess is that you will have to buy one or the other to get an autogrpah, but maybe Borders will let you get additional signatures with each item you purchase, or at least let you get something else signed in lieu of a purchased item. I hope it's not the case you have to purchase Watching the Watchmen to get one autograph, as the Borders website has it listed at the cover price of $39.95. On the other hand, the trade paperback is $13.99. I for one would be willing to pay the $13.99 even if it meant Gibbons would only sign one item for each copy purchased.

My impression is that no organized signings are planned, but I know Joel has been looking into this and may be able to shed some light on the subject.

I just called the store. Dave Gibbons will only sign 3 things, 2 of which have to be purchased at the store. Another thing to consider is that I don't think there is enough time fir you to send me the things to get this done unless you only want Watching the Watchmen book.- J

[somewhereintexas]

Do you have to buy 2 things in the store in order to get something additional signed, or can you buy 1 thing and get one additional item signed?

[fingerprint_ink]

Dave Gibbons will only sign 3 things, 2 of which have to be purchased at the store. I think it's a one to one but you can always call the store for the exact information. 1-310-552-1411

Dave Gibbons will be a guest at the Cartoon Art Museum party on Friday night during WonderCon. He is expected to be a guest on the Watchmen panel on Saturday during WonderCon. DC Comics has a booth at WonderCon, so my hope is that they will host at least one signing on Friday or Saturday. There are, however, no official signings for Dave Gibbons throughout the show. I am most hopeful he will do some signings at the party on Friday night, but we will have to wait and see.
