Just as the hullabaloo over the Watchmen movie was dying down and you thought that you could take a breather from it, the latest issue of Book and Magazine Collector jumps back on the band wagon. Well almost.
To tie-in with the release of the movie B&MC issue 306, which is cover dated April 2009, has a twelve page career retrospective on Watchman writer Alan Moore. Mike Gent’s article covers Moore’s life and work and includes an additional six page bibliography and price guide.
