the comics were released as monthly 12 issues first, not an entire novel.
I get irritated when people dont remember history right. especially my comics :p
I stand corrected, but for me, my introduction was the Graphic Novel and then Zach Snyder's stunning movie adaptation. Did you dig it? you seem to be an authority on the subject of anything Watchmen.
I'm not nor do I claim to be an authority on it, I just remember it happening. Thats how old I am. I also remember reading (and buying) the dark knight returns.
And yes, the movie is great and is one of the few that actually does justice to the original comic. I was an avid comic collector from the late 70's to the early 90's.
At one point I had 3000 of them. Unfortunately many were stolen out of my shed when I drank one night and forgot to lock it up. I still have maybe ... 200? left.
I'm super old (64 last Jan!) and just fell in love with the Graphic Novel. I loved how ultra right wing the Rorschach character of the comics/graphic novel is. The scabbed over gutters full of blood rant was elite tier writing as was the death of Comedian which no-one but Rorschach actually gave a fuck about. Alan Moore is a strange cat but Watchmen is the greatest story ever imho. The film was outstanding. The fact that Snyder managed to condense the novel into a movie was a miracle. The fact it was so good is testament to his directorial prowess. Sorry to hear about collection stolen man. Some people deserve testicular cancer for crimes of that nature. Some good old Rorschachian justice needs meting out to the cunt/s that stole them.
The immortal words of Rorschach. As potent today as when Alan Moore's graphic Novel first appeared.
