Watchmen is an American comic book limited series published by DC Comics. The series from September, 1986 to October, 1987, spanning a total of twelve issues. The series was written by Alan Moore with illustrations by Dave Gibbons and coloring by John Higgins. The book received widespread critical acclaim, earning multiple awards including the Squiddy Award for Favorite Limited Series, the Kirby Award for Best New Series, and the Eisner Award for best Finite Series. It is credited by many for evolving the comic book landscape, and paving the way for a cottage industry of mature readership titles.
The controversial, long-awaited prequels to the best-selling graphic novel of all-time are finally here: BEFORE WATCHMEN! For over twenty years, the back stories of the now iconic characters from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's landmark graphic novel have remained a mystery, until now. DC Comics has assembled the greatest creators in the industry to further paint the world of WATCHMEN, with this second volume starring two of the most polarizing anti-heroes ever, COMEDIAN and RORSCHACH.
Eisner Award-winning writer and creator of 100 Bullets Brian Azzarello brings his gritty, nuanced storytelling to these two recognizable characters. In RORSCHACH, Azzarello again teams with superstar artist Lee Bermejo (JOKER, LUTHOR, BATMAN/DEATHBLOW) to illustrate how one of most dangerous vigilantes the comic world has ever seen became even darker. COMEDIAN, featuring art by J.G. Jones (FINAL CRISIS, Wanted), plants the famed war hero within the context of American history, as we find out how the Vietnam War and the Kennedy assassination revolve around him.
