S K Sharma: If it's still not in your collection. Get one.
This should be on everyone's shelf.
It's a classic.

RE BAYRAM: Make it this one. Picked it up for a bargain, haven’t read it in 20 years and as amazing now as it was back then.

Davide: arrivato in condizioni penose, spiegazzato e bagnato (con una recensione a 1 stella garantita per il venditore) è una delle cose migliori che abbia letto.
non mi dilungo perchè è un'opera estremamente famosa ma penso che dopo 30 anni sia ancora estremamente attuale e mi sorprende che dopo questa vengano scritte ancora storie sui supereroi.

Per quanto riguarda l'edizione: un buon brossurato, rilegato a filo; solido e di facile lettura (malgrado si un tomo di 400 pagine) la carta è morbida e spessa, porosa e non patinata. malgrado la mia copia sia decisamente vecchia, è solo leggermente ingiallita e la stampa è ancora ottima.

forse per una storia di questo calibro ha senso un'edizione absolute o deluxe o comunque un cartonato da collezione insomma, ma se non l'avete mai letto, io opterei per questa.

Anonymous: Books looks good, I would give it 5 starts if not for the damaged bent cover in the back. It also isn't packaged in any way/protected with any foil - just placed directly in the cardboard amazon envelope. COmic itself looks amazing

Steven Levi Little: I have to say, this is just the best comic I have ever read. The art was just to die for, the characters were well thought out, and a brilliant plot was implemented into the comic. I have read many comics where the story seems jump around to useless side stories for no typical reason other than to show that the writers want to make a long ass story, but this was different. Sure the story jumped around a lot in this but there was some point to it; it helped me understand when, why, and how the heroes became who they are.
For example, Jon a.k.a. Dr. Manhattan, was not always an immortal bipedal h-Bomb, he was once human. He had a life once before where he was human. He grew up a the son of a watch maker so he was always around time. Things changed and he became a scientist in Nuclear- Atomic- Atoms- whatchamacallit. He met his first love and he offered one day to fix her watch because someone stepped on it. He left it in his lab coat one day, and his lab coat was left inside a room where objects were de-atomized. He went to fetch the lab coat and an accident occurred, causing him to be trapped inside the room and he was De-Atomized. Thought to be dead, everyone tried to think as...

John Martinez: After a long time of not reading this novel, and after reading the first 50 pages of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' "Watchmen," I immediately thought of another recent "superhero" story of sorts, "Hancock," and a quote Cherlize Theron said very matter-of-factly in the film - "(We've been called) gods, angels, and different cultures and different eras have called us many things - in this place and time we are called super heroes."

Alan Moore's depressing and outright blasphmeous story of the "superhero" and their struggles with humanity, as they also deal with the after-effects of modern day god-worship, the ordinary people's eventual fear and hatred of them, etc. made me wonder if Alan himself didn't realize that he was showing us a mirror to ourselves and our blind worship of them, and for this I love his idea and the concept, stretched out originally over 12 "chapters," now all collected here for the first time together.

This is not the story of a Super-man, or a Spider-man, who do not exist here in this world (except as minor comic book characters pasted on the wall as a sad reminder) and as we all know, these 'heroes' were created by an foreign & alien...
