Watchmen #1: At Midnight, All the Agents… (1986)
Published by DC Comics
‘Watchmen’ was probably the thing that would define my career, and it is one of my very favourite things that I worked on. It was a tremendous challenge, but we were at the right place at the right time, we were both at the right point in our careers, and, like lightning, it only usually strikes once. I think we were standing there when the lightning struck.
—David Gibbons, in 13th Dimension
