COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL, SAN DIEGO, CA – July 13, 2010 – Smith Micro
Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI) Productivity and Graphics Group, today
announced that it is bringing Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons to fans at
2010 Comic-Con International held in San Diego, CA July 22nd through
July 25th 2010. The acclaimed creator of the Watchmen comic book and
film series will greet fans at booth #5238 for exclusive signings.
Comic-Con attendees can enter now via Twitter for the chance to
attend an exclusive dinner engagement in San Diego with Gibbons on
Saturday, July 24th.

Gibbons creates his characters and storylines using Smith Micro’s
Manga Studio software, which enables artists to quickly create
professional, ready-to-publish pages from start to finish. Gibbons
will use Manga Studio to design an all-new, limited edition poster

Dave Gibbons has worked in comics since 1973. Cutting his teeth on
undergrounds and fanzines, he became a frequent contributor to
Britain’s 2000AD illustrating “Harlem Heroes,” “Dan Dare” and co-
creating “Rogue Trooper.” Since then he has drawn and written for
most comics publishers on both sides of the Atlantic. His work
embodies a vast range of subjects and styles such as “Dr. Who,”
“Superman,” “Batman,” “Green Lantern,” “Predator,” “Aliens,” the Hugo
Award-winning “Watchmen” with writer Alan Moore, as well as “Give me
Liberty” and “Martha Washington Goes to War” with Frank Miller. His
semi-autobiographical “The Originals” won an Eisner Award in 2005.
