In an alternate world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history, the US won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president, and the cold war is in full effect.á WATCHMEN begins as a murder-mystery, but soon unfolds into a planet-altering conspiracy. As the resolution comes to a head, the unlikely group of reunited heroes—Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias—have to test the limits of their convictions and ask themselves where the true line is between good and evil.   In the mid-eighties, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons created WATCHMEN, changing the course of comics' history and essentially remaking how popular culture perceived the genre. Popularly cited as the point where comics came of age, WATCHMEN's sophisticated take on superheroes has been universally acclaimed for its psychological depth and realism.  WATCHMEN is collected here in deluxe hardcover, with sketches, extra bonus material and a new introduction by series artist  Dave Gibbons.

Watchmen is a Classic, and this Gives you the Full Story of it Plus Pretty Neat Bonus Contents. The Print Quality is Great, and the Hard Back really Makes this Feel like a Premium Product. This is at a Great Price, and is 100% Worth it. Though, if you Don't Care for the Extra Content and just Want the Story on it's Own get the 2019 Edition, as it's the Same thing Minus the Bonus Content and Hardback.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alan Moore's Best Work and One of the Best Ever Graphic Novels Now In Deluxe Edition Format!
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2018
Verified Purchase
It's rare that a graphic novel lives up to its hype and Alan Moore's best ever work certainly fits the bill fully deserving of its spot among Time magazine's best novels of all time. For me this and Frank Miller's "Dark Knight Returns" are the best graphic novels ever written with Spiegelman's "Maus", Moore's own "V For Vendetta" and Gaiman's "Sandman" series following one tier below. The movie doesn't come even close to being as good as its source material and I strongly recommend reading this to get the full story that the movie just doesn't do justice to. There have been some nice follow ups to this story such as the very good Darwyn Cooke "Before Watchmen: Minutemen & Silk Spectre" and the promising Geoff Johns' "Doomsday Clock" series that's currently unwinding but this here is the one any self-respecting adult comic fan has got to have in their collection.

The Deluxe Edition has been very well done with the larger pages and the surprisingly very well done binding for a DC book. The dust cover is beautiful and so is the actual hardcover design and the binding is sewn making it easy to stay open from the very first page on a flat surface with no gutter loss at all. The story is a true classic that rewards repeated reading and I find something new at each read. Moore's story is fabulous and so is Dave Gibbons' artwork making this possibly the best ever writer/artist pairing in graphic novel history and this Deluxe Edition is the best version of this iconic story this is currently out there.

Very, very highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Alan Moore's best ever! Dave Gibbon's art is the best of the mid '80s!

Many of us know the history-story of this groundbreaking book;. if not, one has to read it
and recall the old school superhero books from the old days. I call it "superheroes upside down"; it's not the usual comic by any means..

It arrived in a largish box, no padding/packing and is 99.9% Perfect. The three Gaiman Sandman
and three Morrison Batman omnibi in said box had the usual very small dings; at least they are
basically "undamaged"; meaning they're keepers.

Just a few years ago I'd collected quite a few of the Marvel Omnibus releases; FF4, Hulk, The Avengers, Captain America, Doom Patrol by Morrison/Case (BIG book-my favorite btw.), Spidey..all arrived in great condition.

Amazon, please charge me extra for packing and shipping for these affordable classics!

5.0 out of 5 stars Graphic novel masterpiece. Must read!
Reviewed in Canada on January 30, 2024
Verified Purchase
I read this before the movie, and contextualizing with when it was written, it’s a masterpiece of the medium of graphic novels. Not only does this story delve into the ethics of power, authority, responsibility, and more, it presents it in a gripping narrative form that harnesses the medium of graphic novel to its maxim. For those considering the movie, please read this first! The movie alone does not do this novel justice. In an age of super hero’s and Marvel movies galore, this is a sobering and thoughtful look at what power and responsibility mean.

Ótima história...Nada a reclamar da edição, apenas reclamarei da embalagem que durante todo o ano, a Amazon tem enviado as HQs nacionais e importadas (as importadas não estão vindo lacradas, parecem usadas ou devolvidas, só pra mencionar) em envelopes plásticos ou de papel, só porque são forrados com plástico bolha, eles pensam que protegem as edições. Já recebi até edições quebradas ao meio. Nunca devolvi tantos pedidos como nesse ano.

"Watchmen" no solo es un cómic favorito para muchos, sino que esta edición eleva la experiencia a otro nivel. La tapa dura le da una presencia digna de cualquier colección distinguida, y el hecho de que esté en su idioma original es un plus para los puristas y entusiastas del cómic. La calidad del material y la impresión es notable, y aunque ya contaba con una versión en pasta blanda, esta edición ha justificado cada centavo invertido. Es más que un cómic; es una pieza de arte que merece ser destacada en cualquier colección de novelas gráficas. Definitivamente, le doy cinco estrellas.
