Summary
In an alternate 1985, superheroes have existed for more than 30 years and have endured the gamut of public opinion-from acceptance to polite disdain to outright hostility. Now someone is killing the second generation of superheroes, and, as the threat of nuclear holocaust looms over a dystopic world, the killer must be found before it's too late. Originally published in 12 separate comic books, which are collected here along with some additional material, this book is perhaps the seminal graphic novel.

Media Reviews
"A work of ruthless psychological realism, it's a landmark in the graphic novel medium. It would be a masterpiece in any." -- Lev Grossman
-- Time
"It's tempting, and entirely possible, to appreciate WATCHMEN solely at a microscopic level, to lose oneself in Moore and Gibbons's multilayered narrative techniques or to unpack their allusions to everything from 'The Threepenny Opera' to the Book of Job to Bob Dylan's 'Desolation Row." But the story of WATCHMEN, carefully plotted and decidedly finite, deserves equally close attention, as its acuteness has not dulled with age." -- Dave Itzkoff
-- New York Times Book Review

Publisher's Notes
This stunning graphic novel chronicles the fall from grace of a group of super heroes plagued by all too human failings. The concept of the super hero is dissected and inverted as strangely realistic characters are stalked by an unknown assassin. Originally published as a 12-issue series in 1986 and 1987, WATCHMEN remains one of DC Comics' most popular graphic novels. Seventh printing.

Icefalcon's Quest
by Barbara Hambly
Chaos reigned in the Eastern Lands: as the fearsome Alketch army mounted siege, the young Prince Tir was snatched from the heart of Dares Keep. Behind the terror was the depraved, hook-handed general Vair na-Chandros. He had learned that the royal child possessed forbidden wisdom; a secret the bloodthirsty Vair intended to use to conquer the world.One man posed a threat to Vairs vaunting ambition: the legendary warrior known as the Icefalcon. Banished by his own people and scorned as a barbarian by others, only he could hope to free the boy from Vair's clutches. With his sister Cold Death--a sorcerer whose magic was as sharp as her tongue--the Icefalcon embarked on a dangerous mission of rescue and redemption that would force him to wage his greatest battle . . . for his prince, for his honor, and for all eternity.

Watchmen
Moore, Alan
DC Comics,, 1995. First edition. Paperback. Fine in Wraps. FIRST PRINTING with a number 1 in the number line. his book is in astonishingly Fine condition. There are no flaws to the cover or to the pages other than a very slight tanning due to age. The spine is uncreased and the book appears never to have been read. Book's only flaw is by spine on top of front cover there is an extremely tiny bit of edgewear . This was one of the most pivotal graphic novels ever published. Some think more than THE DARK KNIGHT. Either way, you may never again see it for sale in this condition. A treasure for any comics or graphic art fan! ( more information) Offered by BookHobby.Com (United States)
