Another Watchman, Rorschach, begins to investigate as conspiracies heighten and other costumed heroes get involved… A former member of the eponymous ‘Watchmen,’ (or Crimebusters, as the graphic novels refers to them) The Comedian is murdered.
The US and the USSR edge ever closer to mutually assured destruction. Costumed heroes/vigilantes have been outlawed. Manhattan, who is so powerful he can transform the atom. Well, at least there is one superhero: Dr. ‘Watchmen’ takes place in an alternate 1985 where Richard Nixon is still POTUS and ‘superheroes’ are real. It’s easily the greatest graphic novel that I’ve ever read. However, even without any knowledge of graphic novels, it’s easy to say that ‘Watchmen’ is a masterpiece. Graphic novels, I’ve read a few…the heavy hitters spring to mind, like ‘The Dark Knight Returns,’ ‘V For Vendetta.’ Daredevil: ‘The Man Without Fear’ and Batman: ‘The Killing Joke’ also number my small collection. Price Before Discount$75.Thirty years on since Issue 1 of ‘Watchmen’ was first published, has there been a better graphic novel/comic book serial? Is it really the greatest graphic novel of all time? Now, I’m no graphic novel/comic book expert. Covers, interiors, advertisements, portfolio pieces, color guides-this is the ultimate collection of the ultimate graphic novel! It is the one book that nearly all comics readers know inside and out…or so you thought! Now, with the full assistance and cooperation of Dave Gibbons, comes Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen: Artifact Edition, crammed full of high resolution scans shot directly from Gibbons’ original art. Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons created a story and graphic narrative unlike anything that preceded it, and revitalized the entire art form that followed. Watchmen has been called the greatest graphic novel of all time. DAVE GIBBONS WATCHMEN ARTIFACT ED HC (NET)
