Description
The controversial, long-awaited prequels to the best-selling graphic
novel of 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 Brian Azzarello 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.
Collects BEFORE WATCHMEN: COMEDIAN 1-6 and BEFORE WATCHMEN: RORSCHACH 1-4.

"Azzarello is a perfect fit to give someone as unbalanced as The Comedian a back story."--Huffington Post
"I should have realized that if there was any writer able to take a genuinely bad person and make him endearing, it's Azzarello."--IGN
