So you’ve seen the Watchmen movie and you’ve read the Watchmen trade paperback and are now longing for more. Well there’s no better place then to start from the beginning; with the Charlton Heroes characters that Watchmen were based upon. Today on the show I go over where you can find Captain Atom (Dr. Manhattan), The Blue Beetle (Nite Owl), The Question (Rorschach), Nightshade (Silk Spectre), Peacemaker (The Comedian) and Thunderbolt (Ozymandias) in collected edition form. It’s another trip down memory lane as we look at the characters in their Charlton incarnation as well as their DC Comics incarnation when they were integrated in the DCU post Crisis On Infinite Earths.

Also on the show I read two e-mails, one regarding the reproduction quality of DC Comics Classics Library: Superman – Kryptonite Nevermore and another on how I first came to be acquainted with Watchmen back in 1986.

All this and the New Releases of the Week.

    Hey, Chris–

    Just a FYI–the Batman HAUNTED GOTHAM trade does not collect the Bloodstorm, etc. vampire tales but the minseries “Haunted Gotham’ from 2000.
