Watchmen #1 Page 13 - Dave Gibbons (1986)

Great start to posting your collection. This one is a doozy!

Thank you! My avatar is the sneak preview to what I'm posting next week if you like Capullo. I'll be sure to check out your gallery as well!

Nite owl and Rorschach was a great team. Congrats to that wonderful page with a wonderful splash.

Thank you :) At first glance it looks like you have a great Rorschach + Nite Owl page as well! Will probably post another Watchmen page in the near future. Cheers

Pages from issue one are special as each of the main characters got a half splash that informed us about their character and who they are at the beginning of the tale.  

I totally agree. I've been trying to track down the others for some time now. Maybe one day! 

Big congrats! These are harder and harder to get! 

Thank you! They sure are. I had been searching for this exact page for some time and figured it was a lost cause. Felt like the stars aligned when I saw it became available. 

You certainly know how to make an entrance! 

Stunning Watchmen page! Bricks like no other ;)

Haha. Thank you! 

Betcha this cost a lot more than the under 2000 it cost on ebay over a decade ago. We must suffer for our art.

Let's just say it kept up with inflation lol. Wish I was actively collecting back then. Oh well.

Well bought! I really liked this as a companion piece to one of my pages but I had to drop out. As a primer to your gallery I'll be very curious to see what you add in the future. Welcome to CAF!

Thank you! If it's any consolation you have a drawing of Superman punching Hitler which I don't and now I want one lol :)

Such a monumental moment in comics and comic book movies.  Fantastic art, story and history, huge congrats!

Thanks so much! Very kind of you.

Alas, poor Eddie! I knew him, Walter: a fellow of infinite jest.

No more gibes or gambols. There's definitely something Shakespearean about that moment. Moore really elevated the craft :)

Great little moment on this one, the dialogue is perfect and then Dan is left alone with some heavy thoughts to deal with.

Totally agree. A lot of people are really focused on action pages, but moments like these is what endeared this series to me.

Well, if you are going to post a first piece, it's "go big or go home!"  Glad you went with the first option.

Haha, honestly wasn't sure what to open with but since I just got this I had the scan readily available and figured it was worthy of opening the gallery :)

Just stating the obvious, but this is a great page! It's also a reminder of how Alan Moore's storytelling can be so dense and so subtle at the same time. Great comment too, but I guess this is the type of story that leads to pondering on the many meannings of life... And, oh, welcome to CAF!

Thank you! Yes, it's one of those comics that people might have breezed through like so many before it, not realizing how much attention and effort went into making it. Everytime I go back and re-read it I catch something new.

Love your comment! Lucky custodian of comic history!

Thank you :)

Congrats ona great page!

Thank you. You have quite a few great pages from Watchmen as well! I'm jealous of the cover -- opportunities to pick up one of those don't come along anymore ;)

Epic page, congrats!

Thank you! My long search for it is finally over :)

Truly a lot of story on a page that features a 2/3 splash - congrats on being a custodian of such a great example!

Sure is. Moore really is a master of his craft. Thanks!

Great moment in the story of their relationship. Love how Gibbons spotted the blacks in the bottom panel. Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your art with us.

I agree, it really adds depth to the image. Thank you!

I was sure I had already commented on this beauty, but better late than never.  This is an outstanding page from such an amazing and influencial story (you heard it here first).  Congratulations and thanks for posting!

Fashionably late :) Thanks for the comment!

Stunning page and I'm absolutely envious!!! Congrats!!!!

Thank you, Jason. Much appreciated!

Great description! Love when a collector has a passion for a piece and it shows in what they have to say about the art and the story. 

You'll be an amazing custodian for this one. 

Thank you, Steve! Very nice of you to say and much appreciated :)

Powerful page from a powerful book. As beautifully drawn as it is written. But then, that's the secret to all great books, isn't it? Congrats on a fantastic pick-up!

Thanks, Bill! That is indeed the secret ;)

Such an impactful scene, and the art?  Sublime, for real.  Big congrats, Andrew!

Thank you!
