Description

"Tyger, Tyger/burning bright, In the forests/of the night, What immortal hand or eye/Could frame thy fearful symmetry?" -- "The Tyger" by William Blake.

One of twelve historic, iconic cover images that kicked off a revolution in comics. The story by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons is widely considered to be one of the greatest in modern comics history. The mesmerizing image for the fifth Watchmen chapter, "Fearful Symmetry," is the reflection of a sign outside of Moloch's apartment, which Rorschach begins the issue by visiting and ends by fighting his way out of. This DC masterwork has an image area of 10" x 15".

Are you new to CAF and are posting your entire collection all at once, or just rapidly acquiring incredibly difficult-to-find pieces? xD

Historic addition, congrats!
