Abstract
Dave Gibbons presents a behind-the-scenes account of how this ground-breaking work come to be. Gibbons has kept a thorough record of the production of the series in all its forms, and lends his memories - and a wealth of previously unpublished art - to this incredible guide to all things Watchmen. Never-before-revealed secrets include early versions of the series’ iconic characters, correspondence and editorial notes chronicling the work’s evolution, and thumbnail sketches that show how Watchmen’s complex story and art dovetailed so perfectly. And Gibbons gives his own chronological account of Watchmen’s creation, including discarded concepts, secret origins, and occasional misadventures." "Long studied for its recurring images, symbolism, and intense level of detail, Watchmen here finally receives the full attention and historical overview it deserves, directly from one of its creators. Filled with archival materials and eye-popping images - presented by acclaimed book designers Chip Kidd and Mike Essl - Watching the Watchmen is the essential companion to the original graphic novel.
