Description: Make sure to BOOKMARK OUR EBAY STORE and check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS This is a classic full-figure pinup piece featuring Rorschach by Dave Gibbons done in marker on 11" by 14" paper. Signed and dated from San Diego in 1986, when The Watchmen by Alan Moore and Gibbons was being launched upon the world. You can see in the scan that the piece does have handling wear, as there is some creasing and edgewear along the sides, as well as slight chipping off the lower right side edge. The actual image area is very nice, and the piece could be matted and framed around the image area so that the wear would not be seen. We usually only see smaller headshots of this character, and almost never see pieces of this vintage, so a full-figure straight-on pinup image of this quality and from this time period, is spectacularly awesome. The Watchmen maxi-series, along with Batman The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, forever changed the comic book and graphic novel storytelling mediums. The Watchmen introduced such great characters as Dr. Manhattan, Rorschach, The Comedian, Silk Spectre, Nite Owl, and Ozymandias, and brought a depth and realism to comics that it had arguably never seen before. It is one of Moore's finest works, ranking up there with Batman The Killing Joke, Miracleman, V For Vendetta, From Hell, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and Saga of the Swamp Thing. The Watchmen is considered by many to be the greatest comic book work ever created, and is certainly the most important and influential work produced in comics in the last 25-30 years. It has only grown in stature since the release of a movie adaptation, and now an HBO TV series as well. This is a truly spectacular piece for any fan of this landmark series, and would look fantastic framed and prominently displayed. Payment to be made within 7 days of auction close.
