I've not read the article yet, but spotted his Rogue Trooper work, written by Gerry Finlay-Day. I'll be doing a post on that Doctor Who strip. It's one of those that transcends any movie budget in scope, while having through lines of mounting reveals offset by personal, character moments. Character moments can be difficult, where the protagonist in those days, didn't really get many. Gibbons art grabbed the attention of loads of kids when that came out, keeping them reading the weekly for ages. "...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

Your description of character moments brought to mind one of my favorite comics of all time, New Mutants Annual 2, beautifully drawn by Alan Davis shortly after he wrapped up his Outsiders run. The British method of packing as much as possible into the space provided really paid off there. Still "Fickles" to my friends.
