Synopsis

Acclaimed as one of Time Magazines 100 Best Novels, WATCHMEN is widely considered to be the greatest graphic novel of all time.

In WATCHING THE WATCHMEN, artist Dave Gibbons gives his own account of the genesis of WATCHMEN, opening his archives to reveal excised pages, early versions of the script, 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.
