Perhaps I'd have liked this more if I'd read it in the mid '80s... as it stood, I stopped reading after the first chapter. (

The movie was better, or maybe it's because I don't like to read graphic novels (

Allen Ginsberg once wrote, "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness." Suffice it to say, all through Watchmen, this small line of poetry kept dancing through my head. Watchmen by Alan Moore is a multifarious piece of art. We have viglantes, cops, crooks. Good and evil is not quite so black and white. Rosrarch, Veidt, and Dr. Manhatten are such complex characters. I closed this book wanting more, which to me is clearly the sign of an excellent book. (

Disambiguation notice

The main Watchmen (all twelve issues collected) includes these words for its Disambiguation notice -

"Please be careful in separating editions titled Watchmen #1, because many are not for the first single issue of the miniseries, but for this collected volume."

This edition titled Watchmen #1 appears to have been separated from the main Watchmen, then incorrectly combined with the actual #1 issue of the twelve-issue maxiseries.

This edition has now been separated from the actual #1 issue, but as this edition is more than 200 books it can't easily be combined with the main Watchmen (all twelve issues collected).
