Details:
Acclaimed as one of "Time Magazine's" 100 Best Novels, "Watchmen" is widely considered to be the greatest graphic novel of all time.
"In Watching The Watchmen", artist Dave Gibbons gives his own account of the genesis of "Watchmen", opening his archives to reveal excised pages, early versions of the script original character designs, page thumbnails, sketches and much more, including posters covers and rare portfolio art.
Featuring the breathtaking design of Chip Kidd and Mike Essl, "Watching The Watchmen" is both a major art book in its own right, and the definitive companion to the graphic novel that changed an industry.
Ideal for:
An essential companion for your favourite graphic novel - perfect for fans of Watchmen.
This hardback book has 272 pages and measures: 30.5 x 24 x 2.5cm.
Dunno what this is like but seems good for what it is, wasn't a fan of the watchmen graphic novel myself.

This is a book that's really only for fans of the Watchmen comic. Think of it the same way as a DVD bonus disc of extras.
If you liked Watchmen and want to learn more about its creation, this is a nice big coffee-table book at a very good price.

I ordered one just to go with my copy of watchmen, will read it and see if it's any good.

So this isn't the actual graphic novel but a companion to it that discusses the making etc?

This book is fantastic. It's HUGE and covers so much of the making and designing of the graphic novel, fascinating stuff for fans of Watchmen or anyone interested in art and design. I bought one at double the price and it was still a massive bargain. HEAT!

Picked this up today in the Windsor branch. Looks great. Hefty! Will go as a nice companion piece to the graphic novel (I got bundled with the US Watchmen collectors/Ultimate edition Blu-Ray set).
