Watchmen focuses on six main characters: the Comedian, Doctor Manhattan, the Nite Owl, Ozymandias, Rorschach, and the Silk Spectre. While Gibbons has created and drawn many stories over the course of his long career, in this book he’ll be turning the focus onto himself. Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series created by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins, published by DC Comics in 19. Rorschach, a half-psychotic vigilante must convince his ex team-mates, now middle-aged and retired, that he has uncovered a plot to murder the remaining superheroes - along with millions of innocent civilians.Even reunited, will the remnants of the Watchmen be enough to avert a global apocalypse? With a powerful storyline masterfully told by comics supremo Alan Moore and beautifully rendered artwork by the talented Dave Gibbons - this is the one that started the graphic novel revolution and is definitely not one to miss! Along with a new cover by Gibbons, this volume features the high-quality, recoloured pages from Watchmen: The Absolute Edition, restored by WildStorm FX and original series colourist John Higgins. Dave Gibbons, the prolific artist who co-created Watchmen alongside writer Alan Moore, is releasing an autobiography called Confabulation: An Anecdotal Autobiography in October.

Watchmen redefined superhero conventions and re-introduced comics to an adult audience with a gripping, labyrinthine piece of comic art. One of the most influential graphic novels of all time and a perennial bestseller, Watchmen has only grown in stature since its original publication.

'Watchmen is peerless.' - Rolling Stone DC Comics presents a special, new edition of the Watchmen trade paperback, complete with recolored cover art by artist extraordinaire Dave Gibbons.
