Hey guys, me again with more questions =P

I ordered //http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9781852860240/Watchmen a few days ago and I just wanted to make sure that its the graphics novel that encompasses all 12 issues of Watchmen.

Going by the description I'm assuming so, just wanted to make sure though ^^

Thanks!

House of Usher

Definitely looks like the one. Don't think there's anything else it could be.
STRIKE !!!

Didn't think the smiley face close up cover was used any more, but at 400 odd pages it's gotta be the one yer after.

Let me know if you get a smiley face cover, I'm not too keen on the group shot covers that they seem to have now.

Alright, will do!
Thanks for the help.

The close-up smiley cover is by far the best, the group shots on the current printings are really poor. I have a very, very tatty first print smiley and I love it. Will never replace that one.

Ive gotthe absolute edition and its great, just makes your arms ache reading it in bed and if you drop it Mrs Logan wakes up 8-?

I I droped it and Mrs Logan woke up, I suspect there'd be severe questions asked..!

and i have always thought she was dreamimg of being rescued by the Royal Automobile Club 8-?

See, it's alright for you- Mrs Logan doesn't read this!
I, on the other hand, am walking a very fine line here..!

I'd love the absolute edition but it's a bit pricey for my pocket.

There seems to be two different covers with group shots and I'm not even convinced both of them are by Gibbons... one deffo is but the other is very suspect.

Mrs Logan also isnt a warped warrior who wields an axe.

But she drew the line at a blow job and bought you ABSOLUTE WATCHMEN instead.

Result!
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

The Smiley cover is the US edition, the UK edition has the group shot, due to the Smiley being trademarked over here.

On the subject of the absolute edition, new paperback editions are based on the Absolute colouring & corrections (about 3/4)

hence why I now have 2 copies on my shelf...

Both are by Gibbons but the hardcover group shot is an early promo piece, which is why some bits are a bit off - Ozzy's hair for one - whereas the paperback group cover is a later piece when the costumes had been finalised.
