Before Watchmen: Comedian/Rorschach

A New York Times Best Seller! The controversial, long-awaitedprequels 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 BrianAzzarello 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. And 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.
