		Comic books suffer the repeated indignity of being referred to as "cartoons" (a word that signifies animated drawings only) or "funnies" (a slang term for the comedic newspaper strips).
		While it is true that comics were originally oriented strictly for children and the situations were often patently childish, the form has grown and matured at a staggering rate.
		The comic is done in the style of the graphic EC Comics of the 1950s, with much blood and a Gothic stance.

		Dick Giordano, who had worked for Charlton Comics, suggested using a cast of old Charlton characters that had recently been acquired by DC; but since Moore and Gibbons wanted to do a serious storyline in which some of the newly acquired characters would die, this was not feasible.
		The comic is being read by a teenage boy whilst he sits beside a newsstand, whose proprietor, meanwhile, contemplates the latest news headlines and discusses them with his customers.
		DC Comics also released a limited edition badge set featuring characters and images from the series, including a replica of the blood-stained smiley face badge worn by The Comedian that was featured so prominently in the story.

	OZYMANDIAS
		1939), part of the second generation of American vigilantes, is Ozymandias, the "Smartest Man in the World," a self-made tycoon, and a supreme master of martial, acrobatic, and metaphysical arts.
		He had a hashish-induced vision of Pharaoh Rameses II [the historic Ozymandias] in Alexandria, Egypt, that inspired the second phase of his heroic quest.
		Ozymandias retired from vigilantism before passage of the Keene Act of 1977 and went public with his true identity.

	Opinions 60 - Comics Reality Checks II: The Bouncing Boy Test (Sep 2001)
		Ozymandias, furthermore, once confronted with the fundamental inflatable force we call Chuck Taine, would have to adopt a sour John Forte-style long face and own up to the overall insanity of his master plan, perhaps moments before he self-destructed.
		Comics, after all, did not begin with the costumed superhero, although Bouncing Boy does originate from and belong in that genre.
		As such, a theory of comics that excludes his like has taken on the tone of a surly adolescent who rails at anything childlike in an immature attempt to prove his maturity.

		Comics is both a sequential and a simultaneous medium.
		Yes, in VII.14.9 Ozymandias' very rigid legs do project at a certain highly suggestive angle, contrasted in the facing panel (VII.15.7) by the angle of Laurie's body as she settles herself next to Dan.
		Ozymandias performs while the world watches; Dan can't manage, as the dream that follows this sequence makes plain, because he's afraid that an angry Dr. Manhattan may be watching him and Laurie.

	"Tales of the Black Freighter" - classic or dud (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Obv it's far more "realistic"/political than the stereotype superhero comic but it's the fact that it's that kind of treatment of superheroes (their being active in our (80s) world,I guess) that gives it a lot of its appeal, for me, so I'm very happy w/the cartoonish ending that roots it in that.
		Well, despite being a "superhero" comic, Watchmen is otherwise quite credible and realistic, that's why the ending always struck to me as silly.
		Also complaining about the use of a psychic in a comic that features Dr. Manhattan is on the face of it a little strange, except that part of the set-up is the fact that Dr. Manhattan is completely unlike anything else ever and is immediately the elephant in the living room.

		As it turns out, Ozymandias, acting in, what he believed to be, the best interests of mankind, dropped a fake alien invader on New York.
		As with the greatest villains, Ozymandias believed what he was doing was for the good of mankind.
		The Goblin dumped Stacy off the bridge, but she was caught by the trusty webline of Spider-Man. Tragically, either the shock of the fall or the sudden stop killed her.

		The core of Rose Madder, which is basically a twisted love story featuring a woman in her early 20s, meshed well with the conventions of manga, and my own personal tastes had been moving toward manga and anime.
		And because the level of finsh in comics illustration is so much higher than it is in storyboarding, I had to be careful not to rush through the drawing process.
		"Ozymandias", as a metaphor, is the entire series writ small, like a motif in the larger fugue that is Rose Madder.

	A New Frame For Comics
		Comics are not a mish-mash, ramshackle, shorthand, piecemeal, handicap or dumbing-down of the components.
		Marvel editor Tom Brevoort acknowledges that comics can be viewed as "adolescent male power fantasies. As such, while successive generations of creators have succeeded in plumbing new depths and crafting works of compelling beauty centered around such characters," comics still cant break free of their juvenile origins.
		However, in a comic book where art and text are combined, a great deal of that responsibility is carried by the penciler after reading the script and conferring with the writer.

	Watchmen - Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Comic Books: Superheroes as a comic genre died out in the early to mid-50's, with pirate comics replacing them.
		It is this crisis, and Ozymandias' actions to prevent it, that forms the primary plot to Watchmen.
		Ozymandias also states that "...sensitives world-wild will have bad dreams for years to come." So, we can presume that certain forms of psi/esper poers (such as minor telepathy, emotion sensing, clairvoyance, per- and retrocognition etc.) exist in the Watchmen universe.

	The CHUD.COM Message Boards - Your take on comics characters
		Suppose you were to be handed the reigns to a specific comic character, right now, in comic, TV, or movie form, to write and/or draw however you saw fit.
		Nothing trying to milk half-sympathies, the comic would just show him to be the ass he is. Brief flashbacks to his abusive childhood would be the closest one would come to feeling any sympathy, and even then he has to be such a creepy little bastard of a kid as to not really feel for.
		Set about 20 years from the He Man stories we grew up with from STAR comics and the TV show, Eternia went through a massive 10 year battle as Hordak and his troops invaded from their dimention, forcing He Man and the other heroes to partner up with Skeletor and his cronies.

		Ozymandias exhibits various aspects of Narcissistic Personality Disorder including behavioural grandiosity and a lack of empathy.
		Many of the themes in Watchmen are explored in Moore\'s other works, including V for Vendetta, which also dealt with issues relating to fascism and hero worship.
		Although neither party has stated the exact reason for the withdrawal of the figures, DC Comics did say in a press release that they would not go forward without the author\'s approval.

		Personally I think it’s a bit of a stretch, esp. since the comic Walt reads in the first season of Lost is actually a Green Lantern/Flash mini-series called Faster Friends, not Watchmen.

		Set in an alternative history in which superheroes are real, Watchmen is an adventure and crime drama that incorporates moral philosophy, popular culture, history, art, and science.
		Ozymandias' egomania allows him to label himself as far more intelligent than other humans.
		NO ONE WHO has read "Watchmen," the acclaimed graphic novel by Alan Moore serialized in 1986-87 by DC Comics, will soon forget British illustrator Dave Gibbons's depiction of the murder of ex-costumed adventurer Nite Owl on a Halloween night: the ghoulish punk villains, the hero's dying flashbacks to his glory days, the shattered jack-o'-lantern.
