*DC: One of the stories which redefined the concepts of comics narrative and superheroic 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 this is the original premier issue of the series which set comics fandom and the industry alight. Often imitated – frequently to the detriment of the medium – but never equalled. This first issue is Near Mint: sharp edges & corners, tight staples at cover and centrefold, and, owing to the more expensive paper stock used in its production, bright white interiors with vivid unfaded colour. Watchmen #1 NM £80.
