Watchmen: The Beginnings - The Comedian, Rorschach, Red Corsair

A spinoff of the cult graphic novel by Alan Moore "Watchmen". The long-awaited prequels to one of the greatest graphic novels of all time, «Watchmen», are finally here! For over twenty years, the backstories of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' iconic characters have remained a mystery. Until now. But DC Comics has gathered a team of the most outstanding creators in the industry to explore the world of «Watchmen», delving into the past stories of the most controversial anti-heroes ever to have appeared in comic books. The Comedian, Rorschach, Red Corsair – in the first volume of the deluxe edition.

Award-winning Eisner winner and creator of «100 Bullets» Brian Azzarello brings his daring nuances to the characters of The Comedian and Rorschach. Comic book superstar artist Lee Bermejo («Joker», «Luthor», «Batman: Deadly Delivery») illustrates Rorschach's plunge into darkness, the most dangerous of crimefighters. JG Jones («Final Crisis», «Wanted») places the war hero in the context of American history, revealing the role that the Vietnam War and the assassination of Kennedy played in The Comedian's fate. Lin Way and John Higgins created «The Curse of the Red Corsair», an exhilarating pirate tale that tells the story of madness and an epic journey through the unfathomable horrors faced by sailor Gordon MacLachlan. This terrifying tale harks back to «The Tale of the Black Freighter» from «Watchmen», with John Higgins depicting the protagonist's insane visions with stunning realism and dizzying depth. 

This edition includes issues: «Watchmen: The Beginnings - The Comedian 1-6», «Watchmen: The Beginnings - Rorschach 1-4» and «The Curse of the Red Corsair».
