Watchmen (International Edition)

Alan Moore’s Watchmen (1987) behoort al vele jaren tot de best verkopende graphic novels en dit boek zul je dan ook – net als V for Vendetta – terugvinden in vrijwel iedere collectie. Het is dé absolute klassieker binnen het genre en is zelfs de enige graphic novel die voorkomt in de Time’s Top 100 Best Novels. Waar V for Vendetta gekenmerkt wordt door het bekende masker heeft Watchmen de gele smiley met bloedvlek. Het is een superheldenverhaal waarin we ook de donkere kant en beperkingen van de helden te zien krijgen zien, iets wat voor die tijd revolutionair was.

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.
