Description
Nothing to say. I had to pay the juice, but I got it.

As I told a friend, if the kids want to go to college they can win a scholarship or stay in-state.

I spent a day just drinking it in - really savoring the details and just how damn cinematic this page is.

Thanks for all the good wishes!

P.S. This page is not in the IDW artifact edition.

Nov 9th 2023 P.P.S. Under this shadow. I see this page every, EVERY day. I love it.

I can't find your message board post now, but now knowing what the art is, I think you made a good choice in buying it.

You have the AH! FF variant cover that I talk about missing out on. Congrats! And your Alex Ross stuff isn't too shabby either...

I don't remember you commenting on the FF variant cover.  But I think this Watchmen page is always a win!

Incredible page from one of the most (literally) electrifying sequences in the whole book! 

Truly a Masterpiece. Worth whatever you paid for it.

A brutally violent sequence but still no cat in your collection. Get searching. The Doomsday clock is ticking. You need a doomsday cat.

You have two Watchmen pages featuring Mr Hurm and Batman Lite? Wheres Adrians cat? The only decent character in the series? All the others are emotional cripples. Lol.

Molecules are not pages but are made of them.

Wonderful character development page. And the lighting is perfect to set the tone. Great page!

It's glorious, of course.  A masterpiece in sequential storytelling, but I don't understand the 'IDW artifact edition' part.  Were new pages drawn for an IDW 'reprint?'

The IDW Artifact Edition does not have ALL of Watchmen's OA. This page is not included but my other page is - I suspect the owner of this page at the time did not have it publicly posted and/or did not have a good scan, as this looks to have been in a frame for a long time before it was sent to Heritage.

I understand now.  I looked up the IDW Artifact Edition.  Have people been selling the scans of the original work that were used in the artifact edition?  That could become as confusing as the Lincoln Project Star Trek scripts.  I'm glad you know for sure yours is an original!

The heavy black use adds to the menace. Tthe casual violence in the 7th panel while talking about friendship is so typical of Moore's and Gibbon's updated take on '60s superheroes. Masterful work from Gibbons.
