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 had been the subject of much debate
and theorizing. Now, DC Comics has assembled the greatest creators in
the industry to further paint the world of WATCHMEN, starting with this
first volume starring MINUTEMEN and SILK SPECTRE
The critically acclaimed and Eisner Award-winning creator of DC: THE NEW
FRONTIER Darwyn Cooke lends his talents MINUTEMEN. As the predecessor to
the Watchmen, the Minutemen were assembled to fight against a world that
have more and more rapidly begun to spin out of control. Can these
heroes from completely different backgrounds and with completely
different attitudes on crime come together? Or will they fall apart
before they begin?
SILK SPECTRE takes an introspective look at the WATCHMEN feature
player's struggles with her overbearing superhero mother and her
scattered path toward taking the mantle of the Silk Spectre. With
gorgeous art by co-writer and illustrator Amanda Conner (POWER GIRL, The
Pro), SILK SPECTRE takes a very different perspective at the world of
BEFORE WATCHMEN.
Collects BEFORE WATCHMEN: MINUTEMEN 1-6 and BEFORE WATCHMEN: SILK
SPECTRE 1-4.
