DAVE GIBBONS responds

Dave apparently worked on some graphic novel thing called "Watchmen" that some people enjoyed. Oh, all right. It's my favorite series of all time. Satisfied? Somehow, I was able to conquer my fangirl awkwardness enough to ask him about the list, and Dave cleverly turned it into a brief plug for his "Martha Washington" work. You've got to admire that. Other comics work includes the art on a run of "Green Lantern," and the writing chores on the science fiction graphic novel "The Dome." (GS)

Martha Washington lives to fight another day and is off to explore the galaxy.

"To boldly go where no girl has set foot ..." as you might say!
