Page by page, panel by panel annotations of DC Comics' summer events and crossovers
Still working on the War of The Gods annotations and as I was ploughing through copies of Who’s Who in an attempt to identify a character, I came across this little gem:

Just came across this promotional poster for Watchmen in Infinity Inc #29 from the summer of ’86:
Gibbons’ art looks gorgeous in black and white; again, I’m tempted by the black and white version of Watchmen as I was when I found the last poster.
The quote at the bottom didn’t sound familiar to me and a quick hunt around the net seems to confirm my suspicion that it’s original to the poster and echoes a famous line from Caligula . . . because, you know, that’s someone you want to emulate.

Just came across this on the back of Infinity Inc #32 from 1986:
Don’t think I’ve seen that one before and I’m loving Gibbons’ artwork in black and white.
I’m now tempted to pick up the forthcoming Watchmen Noir edition.
