Dave Gibbons (Watchmen novel illustrator/co-creator) speaks out at the Watchmen U.S. red carpet premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre:
Question I asked: How did you decide to create such a seminal work in the graphic novel genre?
DG: "The original Watchmen graphic novel is a collaboration between Alan Moore and myself and a colorist called John Higgins. Alan and I had always wanted to do a long story together and DC comics said okay, you've got a 12-issue comic book. And we really tried to put in it everything we thought about costumed heroes, and to tell the kind of story that we'd like to read. And just enjoy ourselves.
Question I asked was: Do you think the film captures the soul of the novel?
DG: "I really think it does. I mean, the details, visually are so rich and so much like the novel. And I do think the soul is there, and the emotion and the moral ambiguity have been retained. Which is great."
