Watching the Watchmen: The Definitive Companion to the Ultimate Graphic Novel

Dave Gibbons' Watching the Watchmen is an ultimate companion to a comics masterpiece, offering never-published pages, original character designs, page thumbnails, sketches, posters, covers, and rare portfolio art.

This comprehensive guide provides an in-depth look into the genesis of WATCHMEN, voted among Time magazine's 100 Best Novels from 1923 to the present and a perennial bestseller over the past twenty years.

With Chip Kidd and Mike Essl's breathtaking design, this book is both a major art book in its own right and the definitive companion to the graphic novel that changed an industry.

As the artist himself says, "I've had a great time re-visiting the very beginnings of Watchmen and unearthing material I haven't set eyes on for many years.

As a fan myself, this is the kind of stuff I eat up and I'm sure the many devotees of the graphic novel will do the same!" © DC Comics 2008.
