After the 1980s series Watchmen but before the 2010s series Doomsday Clock came the 2010s series of series Before Watchmen. Confused yet? The main thing you need to take away from this event that provides context to the various characters in the greatest graphic novel / comics miniseries of all time is that some of the greatest comics writers and artists of all time put their hearts and souls into these pages, including Len Wein, who was involved with the original series way back when. 

Here's the whole shebang in one package. The issues of Minutemen are signed by artist Phil Noto, who collaborated with Darwyn Cooke to create the series' visuals. 

Details below of what's included. See pictures for all items' condition.

--Hi!--

Thanks for checking out this item and anything else I’ve got for sale! I’ve got a kid now, and that means more expenses and less room for fun collectibles, which is all terribly sad. Except for the having a kid part. But my pain is your gain (is that anything?) because I’m pricing everything to sell!

Plus I will include in every shipment an extra thing that you will not want! What a treat! The Alex Guarantee is that if you do want the dumb, free thing I include in your package, you can return it to me for your money back. (But just what you spent on that dumb, free thing. Which was nothing. Please don’t send me back any dumb, free things. I’m trying to clear out room, remember?)

--FAQs--

Shipping

Will I combine shipping on multiple items? Probably! Do I ship internationally? I don’t know! I haven’t done much of that, but if you’re willing to cover the extra shipping cost, I don’t see why not. In either case, make sure you click “Add to cart” and then in your cart click “Request total.”

Authenticity

Any signatures, personalizations, and remarques were personally acquired from the creators by me (unless otherwise noted), and I’ll be happy to provide a certificate of authenticity to that effect upon request.

Condition

All gradings noted for my comics, books, and other collectibles are my own (unless otherwise noted), but good news! I worked at a comic shop for nearly ten years, and I’ve been seriously collecting for more than twenty years. So I may not be a CGC employee, but I am more experienced grading than most. I've also stored them away from sunlight, smoke, extreme temperatures and other stuff that likes to eat paper and plastic alive.

I also make every effort to preserve the condition of what you’re buying while shipping. All single issues will come bagged and boarded, as will most standard-sized trades and hardcovers. All shipments will include appropriate padding and reinforcement to keep the stressed-out mail carrier from damaging it when they toss it onto your doorstep in order to meet their timing requirement and make rent this month.

If you want more pictures of any item, just let me know. I get it!
