(from the publisher)

Acclaimed as one of Time Magazine’s “100 Best English-language Novels” since 1923, Watchmen is widely considered to be the greatest graphic novel ever. In Watching the Watchmen, artist Dave Gibbons gives his own account of the genesis of Watchmen, opening his archives to reveal the secrets behind the book’s creation. Contained within are a host of excised pages, early versions of the script, original character designs, page thumbnails, sketches and much more, including posters, covers and rare portfolio art. Featuring the breathtaking design of Chip Kidd and Mike Essl, Watching the Watchmen is now available in this superb value paperback. It stands as both a major art book and the definitive companion to the graphic novel that changed an industry.
