DC COMICS COLLECTS WATCHMEN IN NEW HARDCOVER

One of the most influential graphic novels of all time and a perennial bestseller, WATCHMEN has only grown in stature since its original publication. This volume features a new cover by Gibbons and contains the high-quality, recolored pages found in WATCHMEN: THE ABSOLUTE EDITION, which were restored by WildStorm FX and original series colorist John Higgins. Also included are selected bonus sketch materials.

The new WATCHMEN HC is advance-solicited in the July Previews and is scheduled to arrive in stores on November 12 with a cover price of $39.99 US.
