About the character

More from Watchmen

Watchmen is the book that made superhero comics argue with themselves, a twelve-issue murder mystery built on a rigid grid and an unreliable moral centre.

Watchmen Deluxe Edition

Watchmen Deluxe Edition

Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons took a set of discarded Charlton characters in 1986 and used them to ask what costumed power would actually do to a country. The nine-panel grid, the recurring symbols and the symmetry of chapter five make the structure part of the argument, and the prose sections are not optional, they carry a third of the story. Watchmen is the book almost every deconstruction since is answering, and the deluxe format restores John Higgins' colour choices that cheap paper flattened.

About the writer

More from Alan Moore

Alan Moore writes superhero comics as formal experiments and political arguments, treating the genre as material to be taken apart rather than celebrated.

Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe Edition

Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe Edition

The Killing Joke was published in 1988 as a one-shot in which the Joker sets out to prove that one bad day is all it takes to break anyone. Bolland finishes his own art and the control is the point: the Joker is terrifying because the drawing never flinches. The recolouring is genuinely different from the 1988 version, flatter, colder, with the flashbacks in near-monochrome, and it is the reason this edition exists. It remains the most cited Joker story ever published.

V for Vendetta 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

V for Vendetta 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

Begun in black and white for a British anthology in 1982 and finished in colour for DC, V for Vendetta sets anarchy against fascism in a near-future Britain. Moore refuses to make his protagonist comfortable: V is a terrorist and the book never resolves that for the reader. David Lloyd stripped out sound effects, thought balloons and motion lines, leaving only what a camera would catch. The Guy Fawkes mask left the book and entered the street, which very few comics can claim.

Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? The Deluxe Edition

Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? The Deluxe Edition collects Alan Moore and Curt Swan's farewell to the Silver Age Superman — the last story of that continuity before Crisis on Infinite Earths swept it away. Moore called it an imaginary story and then made it the most final one ever told: the villains stop playing, the supporting cast dies, and Superman has to decide what he is willing to do about it.

Promethea: The 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Book Three

The final volume of Alan Moore's fantasy epic puts Promethea on trial in the Immateria and then ends the world, calmly and on purpose. Moore and J.H. Williams III spend the last issues turning the comics page itself into the subject, and the result is unlike anything else in the medium.

Description

Background. In an alternate 1980s where America won in Vietnam and Nixon is still president, costumed heroes have been outlawed. The murder of one of them leads Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Doctor Manhattan and Ozymandias to a conspiracy that threatens the whole world.

What's inside. All twelve issues, every page restored and recoloured by WildStorm FX and original colourist John Higgins, and approved by Gibbons. It adds 48 pages produced for the Graphitti Designs hardcover and unseen since: samples of Moore's scripts, the original proposal, Gibbons's concept art and cover roughs. Slipcase and ribbon bookmark.

Why it's worth it. Watchmen is built on a strict nine-panel grid full of recurring details, and the larger page makes those details legible. It is the definitive edition of the book most often called the greatest superhero comic.

Edition details. 464 pages. Oversized Absolute Edition in slipcase, with ribbon bookmark. US edition published by DC Comics, 12 December 2023. ISBN 9781779524492.
