Dave(s) Gibbons and McKean, two pre-eminent UK artists hold forth on comics.com at the ICA in London. I just got my tickets.

“Dave Gibbons, artist creator of the seminal graphic novel Watchmen heads an illustrated conversation about this turning from old techniques. Does the computer bring with it a loss of soul, or actually a greater expansion of the medium? He will be joined by Dave McKean, acclaimed for his covers for the Sandman series, who uses painting, sculpture and the computer. Matt Smith is the editor of the UK?s Number 1 comic, 2000 AD; comic book artist Tom Gauld draws a weekly strip Move to the City in Time Out. Tonight?s Chair, Paul Gravett, has been graphic novel consultant for Penguin books, director of the Cartoon Arts Trust and co-publisher of Escape magazine.”
