The Guardian have a few images showing some of the early artwork Dave Gibbons did for the
Watchmen graphic novel. They are from the new book
Watching the Watchmen![](http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=tasspa-21&l=as2&o=2&a=1848560419)
. It's interesting to see how Gibbons went about creating the character's various looks - he used a selection of ink blobs made by hand to ensure variety and randomness for Rorschach's mask and Dr Manhatten went through a few costumes before Gibbons left him as nature intended. I've only posted a few images here. The one of the Comedian above has him wearing the mask from the comic, but in the movie he just sports a small domino style mask. Make sure you check out the
rest. You can also get the book
here.
