Before Watchmen

The controversial, long-awaited prequels to the best-selling graphic novelof all-time are finally here: BEFORE WATCHMEN! For over twenty years, the back

stories of the now iconic characters from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's landmark

graphic novel have remained a mystery — until now! DC Comics has assembled

the greatest creators in the industry to further paint the world of

Watchmen, with this second volume starring two of the most polarizing

anti-heroes ever, Comedian and Rorschach.

Eisner Award-winning writer and creator of 100 Bullets BrianAzzarello brings his gritty, nuanced storytelling to these two recognizable

characters. In Rorschach, Azzarello again teams with superstar artist Lee

Bermejo (Joker, Luthor, Batman/Deathblow) to illustrate how

one of most dangerous vigilantes the comic world has ever seen became even

darker. Comedian, featuring art by J.G. Jones (Final Crisis,

Wanted), plants the famed war hero within the context of American

history, as we find out how the Vietnam War and the Kennedy assassination

revolve around him.
