Dave Gibbons Bücher

Watchmen von Kult-Autor Alan Moore gilt als einer der bedeutendsten und besten Comics aller Zeiten und konnte dank seiner Einzigartigkeit mehrere Eisner Awards, die Oscars der Comicbranche, gewinnen. Watchmen ebnete den Weg für Comics wie wir sie heute kennen und verlieh dem Superheldengenre bis dato ungeahnte Tiefe. Die düstere Geschichte wird dabei stets passend von den detailverliebten Zeichnungen von Dave Gibbons illustriert. Das Werk erhielt zudem einen Hugo Award und wurde vom Time Magazine in die Liste der hundert besten englischsprachigen Romane seit 1923 aufgenommen. Das Musikmagazin Rolling Stone nannte Watchmen „unvergleichlich“, die New York Times Book Review „atemberaubend komplex“, und für Entertainment Weekly ist es schlicht „ein Meisterwerk“.

Dave Gibbons, Mitbegründer von Watchmen, beschreibt die Entstehung des Comic-Meisterwerks und zeigt zahlreiche seltene, unveröffentlichte Illustrationen. Er beleuchtet verworfene Konzepte, Symbolik und Details, wodurch dieses Buch ein unverzichtbarer Begleitband zur Watchmen-Graphic Novel wird.

This volume is the most thorough exploration to date of the possibilities offered by the comics medium to the writer or artist alive to its unique grammar.

Watchmen is widely considered to be one of the greatest graphic novel of all time. This book gives an account of the genesis of Watchmen.

Our story begins in the squalid corridors of a maximum-security housing project, where a young girl will rise from the war-torn streets of Chicago to battle injustice in a world insane with corruption. She will be called a hero, a traitor, and nearly everything in between, but all along the way, her courage, her integrity, and her unwavering commitment to that most valuable of right - liberty - will inspire a movement that will never surrender. A masterpiece nearly twenty years in the making, this archival volume contains the complete life story of freedom-fighter Martha Washington.
