American Comics Update: Who Watches the Watchmen? Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Ground-breaking Series, Complete!
*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, all very high grade with an average of VF/NM.
IN THIS UPDATE: WATCHMEN #1-12 COMPLETE SET Av VF/NM £120; #1 PICTURED. SOLD
