Watchmen: The Absolute Edition

by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons

Watchmen: The Absolute Edition Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"Watchmen is peerless." Mikal Gilmore, Rolling Stone

Review:

"A brilliant piece of fiction." The Village Voice

Review:

"It's tempting, and entirely possible...to lose oneself in Moore and Gibbons's multilayered narrative techniques....But the story of Watchmen, carefully plotted and decidedly finite, deserves equally close attention, as its acuteness has not dulled with age." Dave Itzkoff, The New York Times Book Review

Review:

"[U]nquestionably a landmark work, a masterpiece, even." Slate.com

Synopsis:

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of "Watchmen" with this oversized hardcover collection, packaged inside a beautifully designed slipcase. Each page of art has been restored and re-colored by WildStorm FX, and 48 pages of supplemental material offer a cornucopia of rare and historically valuable treasures, including samples of Moore's "Watchmen" scripts, the original proposal, conceptual art, cover roughs, and much more.DC Comics
