No one would hang Dave Gibbons pages on the wall the same way they would pages by Neal Adams, Berni Wrightson, Michael Kaluta, Alan Davis, Gary Leach, Bissette/Tottleben, or the other artists I listed. THESE artists manifest an innovative layout, design sense, and decorative linework that Dave Gibbons is never on the same level with.
Art functional to the WATCHMEN story (and also to the Moore/Gibbons SUPERMAN ANNUAL not mentioned before) Gibbons is a competent storyteller. But he is not a master storyteller in the same class as Moore and these other artists.
Currently a Euro is worth about 1.3 US dollars, meaning that 4500 Euro piece of gibbons artwork is selling for nearly $6000.
You really think people paying that much for Gibbons artwork aren't going to display it!
