To celebrate the release of Zack Snyder’s film WATCHMEN this weekend—based on the seminal graphic novel by Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons—I’ve rounded up a collection of links that even Rorschach would grudgingly approve.
For those who missed it, here’s my weeklong (and spoiler free) series on the book. It’s not a review per se, but rather it provides some helpful info on what led up to the groundbreaking book and what publishers/editors could—and should—take away from it:
“QUIS CUSTODIET IPSOS CUSTODES,” Part I
“QUIS CUSTODIET IPSOS CUSTODES,” Part II
“QUIS CUSTODIET IPSOS CUSTODES,” Part III
The author himself on the book:

Finally, for those who only picked up the book in anticipation of the movie, what are your thoughts on it? I know for some of you, it may have served as your introduction to graphic novels. (But please remember boys and girls, let's keep any comments spoiler free as many haven’t seen the film or read the book yet. Hurm.)
Joyfully yours,
Heather
