Watchmen #1 DC 1986 1st App Rorschach Dr Manhattan Alan Moore Dave Gibbons For Sale

It starts with a smiley badge, a bloodstain and a dead Comedian on the pavement. WATCHMEN #1 (of 12) from DC, cover-dated September 1986 — Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, the twelve-issue series that reset what a mainstream superhero comic was allowed to do, and the issue that gives you the first appearances of RORSCHACH, NITE OWL, DR MANHATTAN and OZYMANDIAS. Every trade paperback, every Absolute edition and the whole HBO afterlife runs back to this floppy. Condition is the good news here: it is clean, flat, with sharp corners and no spine roll, which is not what mid-eighties newsprint usually looks like after forty years. Raw and ungraded — it has not been pressed or cleaned, and what you see is what it has always been. From a single long-held collection. Please judge from the photos. Ships bagged and boarded in a rigid mailer, tracked. Smoke-free home.
