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.
I have my suspicions but don't want to spout stuff that might be considered racist.
Take that as you will. I personally think it's an artistic crime that nothing of Matt Wagners was ever made into visual media of some kind. If you thought Alan could write .. whew. Also some of Ellisons stuff before he went off the deep end of pro white guilt, then was accused of sexual harassment by some women probably just trying to cancel him. But yes, I completely agree the Watchmen movie was well done. One of the few instances where a comic book made into a movie was. Sadly they are few and far between.
Thanks for those 2 tips... will def research after your recommendation. Don't get me started on MeToo... best not to hehe. All of those narcissistic women turds need a swift kick in the cunt!!!
Some recommendations would be: Grendel (matt wagner) and either Planetary (warren ellis, my bad on misspelling previously) or The authority.
He also produced an entire webcomic run that is free to read at your leisure called freak angels, if it's still up and hosted anywhere.
Unfortunately he started subscribing to the whole woke white guilt thing shortly before he was apparently cancelled, but I didn't follow that whole drama.
