Media Release -- Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI) Productivity and Graphics Group, today announced that it is bringing Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons to fans at 2010 Comic-Con International held in San Diego, CA, July 22nd through July 25th, 2010. The acclaimed creator of the Watchmen comic book and film series will greet fans at booth #5238 for exclusive signings. Comic-Con attendees can enter now via Twitter for the chance to attend an exclusive dinner engagement in San Diego with Gibbons on Saturday, July 24th.
Gibbons creates his characters and storylines using Smith Micro's Manga Studio software, which enables artists to quickly create professional, ready-to-publish pages from start to finish. Gibbons will use Manga Studio to design an all-new, limited edition poster created specifically for Comic-Con 2010 attendees.
Dave Gibbons has worked in comics since 1973. Cutting his teeth on undergrounds and fanzines, he became a frequent contributor to Britain's 2000AD illustrating "Harlem Heroes," "Dan Dare" and co-creating "Rogue Trooper." Since then he has drawn and written for most comics publishers on both sides of the Atlantic. His work embodies a vast range of subjects and styles such as "Dr. Who," "Superman," "Batman," "Green Lantern," "Predator," "Aliens," the Hugo Award-winning "Watchmen" with writer Alan Moore, as well as "Give me Liberty" and "Martha Washington Goes to War" with Frank Miller. His semi-autobiographical "The Originals" won an Eisner Award in 2005.
