*DC: One of the stories which redefined the concepts of comics narrative and super-heroic iconography in the 1980s, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen has been constantly in print since its 1986 debut, with myriad editions, collections and archives, but these are the original comics which set comics fandom and the industry alight. At first intended to be a ‘grim and gritty’ reinvention of the Charlton Comics heroes, who had only recently then come into DC’s possession, Dick Giordano convinced Moore to come up with original characters instead. Often imitated – frequently to the detriment of the medium – but never equalled, the 12-issue series is on sale in its entirety as a complete set, each issue from an original owner collection and all in pristine Near Mint condition. We don’t need to say much about the content of this most famous of later comics titles; any collection of classic comics deserves a set.
