At least you've read it though, there are so many people who haven't and that truly is a situation!

That's fine, Although I was surprised that no-one else had put it down too!

Anyway, at least you've read Watchmen, which is more than I can say for most people.

BTW, don't know if this would interest you, but Dc released a killer book called 'DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore'.
It's got some of his best shorter stories in it.
Here's the cover...

It's a two parter, originally printed in Detective Comics called 'Night Olympics'.
It's quite gritty, but terribly short.
