Watchmen (International Edition)

Alan Moore’s Watchmen (1987) has been one of the best-selling graphic novels for many years and, like V for Vendetta, can be found in nearly every collection. It is the definitive classic of the genre and the only graphic novel included in Time’s Top 100 Best Novels. While V for Vendetta is symbolized by the famous mask, Watchmen is recognized by the yellow smiley face with a bloodstain. It’s a superhero story that also exposes the darker side and limitations of its heroes—something revolutionary at the time.

DC Comics presents this special edition of the WATCHMEN TP, complete with re-colored cover art by artist extraordinaire Dave Gibbons. Created especially for the international market, this edition is also available to retailers in the U.S. and Canada exclusively through Diamond. One of the most influential graphic novels of all time and a perennial bestseller, WATCHMEN has only grown in stature since its original publication. Along with the new cover, this volume features the high-quality, recolored pages from WATCHMEN: THE ABSOLUTE EDITION, restored by WildStorm FX and original series colorist John Higgins.

It all begins with the paranoid delusions of a half-insane hero called Rorschach. But is Rorschach really insane or has he in fact uncovered a plot to murder super-heroes and, even worse, millions of innocent civilians? On the run from the law, Rorschach reunites with his former teammates in a desperate attempt to save the world and their lives, but what they uncover will shock them to their very core and change the face of the planet! Following two generations of masked superheroes from the close of World War II to the icy shadow of the Cold War comes this groundbreaking comic story – the story of The Watchmen.
