Watching the Watchmen

By Gibbons, Dave & Kidd, Chip & Essl, Mike

Publishers Summary:
Enjoy the ultimate companion to a comics masterpiece, as award-winning artist Dave Gibbons gives his own account of the genesis of WATCHMEN in this dust-jacketed hardback volume, opening his vast personal archives to reveal never-published pages, original character designs, page thumbnails, sketches and much more, including posters, covers and rare portfolio art. Featuring the breathtaking design of Chip Kidd and Mike Essl, WATCHING THE WATCHMEN is both a major art book in its own right, and the definitive companion to the graphic novel that changed an industry.Voted among Time magazine's 100 Best Novels from 1923 to the present, a perennial bestseller over the past twenty years and widely considered the greatest graphic novel of all time, WATCHMEN is a gripping, labyrinthine piece of comic art, which has earned an acclaimed place in modern literary history."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!" says Gibbons.NOT FINAL COVER. » & © DC Comics 2008. All Rights Reserved.

Reviewed on March 23, 2009

Related to the graphic novel only, artist Gibbons provides a thorough behind-the-scenes account of Watchmen's genesis, generously including a ton of concept art ranging from rough pencil sketches to full color panels showing the characters' evolutions. There also are notes between him and writer Moore allowing an inside look at how the series developed. An LJ Editors' Pick for 2008, Watching the Watchmen is another fan's dream come true.
