Always struck me as one of those people, like Stephen Fry or Ian Hislop, that I'd just love to have (had) a chance to have a proper conversation with. (Actually, just remembered - I did once see Christopher Lee, though it didn't seem a particularly appropriate time to ask for a photo - he was going in to sign the book of condolence at the American Embassy after 9/11 just as I was on my way out.)

I just pray they don't muff up the movie version, one of the best graphic novels ever. I met Sir Alan Moore once, many many years ago at a Halo Jones signing. Awestruck I asked if I could take a picture. He slowly smoothed his gargantuan beard with bejewelled fingers and said in his dark Brummie voice "Make sure you get my best side, mind." I think I did.

After the talk I was hanging out with the organiser's son who'd invited me and had the peculiar experience of having to tell DNA that there was smoke coming out of his suitcase...

At least I can take some comfort from having met the late great DNA, even if only at a signing... :-) before hearing hin admit at a talk that the ending of Dirk Gently really, really, doesn't make sense.

But it's a good job you're such a decent nice person who writes articles I enjoy or I would explode with jealousy that you met Dave Gibbons. I love Watchmen. And his yellow smiley face is the best thing ever.
