Description
Paul took a single panel from Watchmen and blew it out into a stunning, magical cover.

I remember when this series came out. This cover image grabbed me by the b*lls. I chased the OA since then and was lucky enough to land it much later on. Thank you again Felix.

The art is done in deep inks on a larger 12x19 art board.

And yes I do own the T-shirt as well. Enjoy.

Paul is a super talented guy and this cover is a great example. Not surprised it grabbed you by the bills when you saw it. There's a lot of competition for his work. congrats!

A watchmaker at heart, Jon tinkers with the mechanism of time, but is unable to alter what has and will happen.  Pope gives us a glimpse of a moment within the fold of time and space.

Right on Marcus. Thanks for always for leaving thoughtful comments, for all. Doc M. is a favorite of mine. I digg the introverted intellect/soul searching persona that Moore and Gibbons crafted.

True testament when an art piece can transcend art boards and become much more such as shirts! That and Doc Manhattan is just a masterclass of character!
