In a world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history, the U.S. won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president and the Cold War is in full effect. 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 must test the limits of their convictions and ask themselves where the true line is between good and evil. Collects #1-12. From Alan Moore, the award-winning writer of V FOR VENDETTA and BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE and Dave Gibbons, the artist of GREEN LANTERN, the WATCHMEN COLLECTOR'S EDITION is DC Comics' first-ever slipcase collection featuring the entire 12 issue series reproduced as oversized, single-issue hardcovers and utilizes the high-quality, recolored pages found in WATCHMEN: THE ABSOLUTE EDITION
