Um, I know that is says paperback next to the title, but the version that I have are not just one, but two bible-thick red hardcover books which were printed some twenty-odd years before I was born.
I'd go and look it up if they hadn't been “misplaced” somewhere after I moved a couple of years ago.

I'm sorry to say this, but the copy I have, while it still awesome, it is also in Swedish, which makes me rate it with just four instead of the five it deservs. I plan on getting a copy in English too, but my economy hasn't allowed me to do so yet.

Anyhoo, the first thing I noticed when I opened the book and started reading it, while it “just one comic”, it's devided into chapters and at the end of some, there is “extra-material” that I, who had only seen the movie before, didn't know. Like the excerpts from Hollis Mason's autobiography, and the file on Rorschach (or Walter Kovacs). The one thing I don't like, is the way the book ended, and that whole thing with Dr. Manhattan where he's in the past, getting his watch, and the next second, he's in the future and not on earth, only to be back on earth, in the present the following second.
