Excellent condition w/ only very slight blemishes on back cover and microscopic fraying on front cover. My personal copy of the legendary classic which I have read and re-read again and again. This 2005 edition contains an extensive making-of section with interviews, concept art and unused material, all of which lend insight into the creative process behind this gem. Alan Moore is a genius, David Lloyd is a virtuoso, and DC Vertigo has some absolute classic bangers in their back catalogue that every collector should have. Perfect as a gift for the uninitiated as well!
