Book SynopsisA
New York Times Bestseller!
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.

Trade Review"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."—
