Publiée par L'Atalante, cette bande dessinée en 12 chapitres a connue une parution initiale en 6 tomes de 48 pages au format comics (mais avec couvertures cartonnées) entre août 2009 et octobre 2010. Chez le même éditeur, cette histoire a fait l'objet de deux intégrales parus respectivement en 2012 et en 2015, intégrales décrites dans cet article. Hormis les spécificités qui seront illustrées plus loin (couverture, reliure, ex-libris), le contenu de ces deux intégrales est strictement identique (320 pages).<br />
<br />
La photo ci-dessous permet de se faire une idée de la taille de ces intégrales (30.5 x 20 cm) par rapport à deux autres bandes dessinées du même auteur (<i>Masqué</i> ayant un format classique d'album Franco-Belge).<br />

Story-wise and art-wise, I have really enjoyed these books. The finished set also looks pretty good, and Jim Lee's pencil covers are beautiful. But in terms of extras, the digital edition of the single issues is in my opinion the true collector's edition.varkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14525851003183624761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738811517610271729.post-39317217327021509442017-07-27T13:59:00.000-07:002017-07-28T01:23:13.596-07:00Watchmen Noir Script Alan Moore, art by Dave Gibbons, all material is ©DC Comics.

La partie principale, comprenant l'histoire telle qu'elle a été publiée dans l'album recolorisé de la <i>Grande Collectio</i>n ainsi que les coulisses de la création, est imprimée sur papier glacé, tandis que la partie planches originales l'est sur papier vélin (tous deux d'une belle épaisseur). Les second et troisième de couverture sont identiques. Une des photos ci-dessous permet de se donner une idée de la taille de cette édition par rapport à l'album classique de 1979, et celui de <i>La Grande Collection </i>de 2008.<br />

Voici maintenant la partie éditoriale (29 pages) consacrée aux coulisses de la création de cette histoire. Chaque section (origine, découpage, contextualisation) est illustrée de documents issus des archives personnelles d'Albert Uderzo et Anne Goscinny. En particulier on retrouve les dessins originaux avant lettrage des 12 strips publiés à l'origine en anglais dans le numéro de mai 1977 de la revue <i>National Geographic</i>. L'intégralité des 14 pages du synopsis est également présente (à noter que l'édition spéciale numérotée <i>Hommage à René Goscinny</i> n'en proposait que 2), accompagnée de documents préparatoires et d'exemples de proposition de découpage de Goscinny pour Uderzo.<br />

Les amateurs auront décidés d’acquérir cette édition principalement pour la reproduction des 44 planches originales de l'album en version encrées et lettrées. L'encrage est-il de la main d'Albert Uderzo comme l'indique cette édition, ou de la main de son frère Marcel? Pour répondre à cette question je renvois ici à de très intéressants échanges ainsi qu'aux liens proposés sur le topic du Forum BDGest consacré à cette collection (à partir de la <a href="https://www.bdgest.com/forum/asterix-editions-luxe-t66199.html?hilit=ast%C3%A9rix%20deluxe&start=660">page 34</a>). Les planches 4, 17, 41 et 44 n'ont pu être reproduites dans cette version mais sont quand même présentes en version trait noir issue des fichiers d'impression de <i>La Grande Collection Astérix</i>.<br />

This anthology was published by Daily Grail Publishing in November 2016 in paperback form (ISBN: 978-0-9946176-3-7), and in hardcover form with a limited print run of 200 copies (978-0-9946176-2-0). Out of these 200 copies, 100 numbered copies were proposed with a tip-in sheet signed by the editor (John Reppion) and a number of the contributing authors (Alan Moore, Iain Sinclair, Maria J. Pérez Cuervo, Dr. Joanne Parker). This article deals with the latter edition.<br />
<br />
The hardcover comes with a fully illustrated dust jacket designed by Pye Parr, that can be displayed upside-down. Another picture below is for size comparison with Alan Moore's <i>Jerusalem</i> hardcover novel.<br />

The Graphitti Design Signed Gallery Editions line has in my opinion the most beautiful design on the market (debossed slipcase and debossed taped-spine).<br />

This collector's edition was published by DC Comics in November 2016 (ISBN: 978-1-4012-7034-6, 7.5 x 11.5 x 4.5 inches or 19 x 29 x 11.5 cm, 12 x 32 pages, $125 cover price). Five out of six Watchmen members can be seen on the box set cover. The illustration related to Rorschach is on the bottom of the box set. This box set was earlier advertised with the following design:<br />

This set is comprised of 12 hardcovers (11 x 7.3 inches or 28 x 18.5 cm) slightly bigger than a regular comic size (a picture below compares one of the hardcover with the original comic and DC Absolute edition).<br />

Notice that the overall size and design of this collector's slipcase box set is very similar to the <a href="http://myabsolutecollection.blogspot.com/2016/03/batman-dark-knight-iii-master-race.html"><i>Dark Knight III</i> collector's box set</a> (as well as the <a href="http://myabsolutecollection.blogspot.com/2017/03/batman-dark-knight-returns-collectors.html"><i>Batman Return of The Dark Knight </i>collector's box set</a>): covers of the slipcase form a single illustration, and the spines are numbered at the bottom. The publisher refers to this collected line as slipcase editions at <i>DC’s Deluxe Edition trim size</i>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Each hardcover book in the slipcase is printed on glossy paper. The aim of DC was to reprint each issue of the original <i>Watchmen</i> miniseries in its own hardcover volume. Thus, it is a "collector's edition" without any extra section. The following pictures illustrate the differences between the original comics and these hardcovers (I have used issues #1 and #10 to do the comparison). It can be seen above and further in this article that all hardcovers use only a white font for the "Watchmen" title whereas each original comic uses a different color.<br />

Second and third of covers of the original comics evolved from one issue to the other, following the "Watchmen" letters. In this box set, the "Watchmen" word is completely formed in each hardcover using second and third of covers, and additional opening and finishing pages.<br />

More important, is probably the color rendering. This edition uses the 2005 material (new colorization by John Higgins, art and color reconstruction). For instance, the <i>Tales of The Black Frighter</i> panels are printed with a grainy effect. Being printed on glossy plain white paper, the colors looks of course much brighter than the original comics (and slightly brighter than the Absolute edition).</div>

I will begin with the three <i>Nemo Trilogy</i> A3 "four colours screenprints" produced by Gosh! alongside the original publication of each hardcover (they were originally not framed, I have to thanks my lovely wife for that). They are all limited to 250 copies and signed by both Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill.<br />
<br />
In order of appearance we have this first "art deco" <i>Heart of Ice</i> screenprint. Some images of the production of this print (White Duck Screen Print) can be seen <a href="http://www.whiteduckscreenprint.co.uk/blog/2013/03/05/gosh-comics-nemo-heart-of-ice-by-kevin-o-neill">here</a>.<br />

Finally, I was also able to be one of the lucky 40 people to put my hands on this A3 gyclée print signed by Kevin O'Neill, and produced in February 2014.<br />

This gyclée print has been advertised <a href="http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/02/11/splash-page-from-the-league-of-extraordinary-gentlemen-roses-of-berlin/">here</a>, and this is its official description:<br />
<br />
<i>This high-quality giclée print is A3 (297mm x 420mm) in size and printed on thick, 300gsm Aquarelle rag paper. The image is taken from a splash page in the book which we loved so much that we decided to offer this print up to accompany it! There are just 40 copies up for grabs so we’re limiting it to just one print per person.</i></div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
In November 2014, another favorite of mine, <b>Marshal Law</b>, was offered the gyclée print treatment. It is limited to 50 signed copies (Kevin O'Neill and Pat Mills), and is described as this:<i> The un-cropped artwork has been giclee printed onto a wonderfully thick and textured paper-stock (310 gsm).</i></div>

And we finish this article (for the time being) with this B&W <b>Nemesis The Warlock</b> print produced for Gosh! 30th Anniversary (it was the 12th and last print). It was first proposed the 10th February 2017 during a signing event related to 2000 AD 40th Anniversary.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here its description: <i>Originally drawn as an in-house ad, then reused in both the Eagle Comics reprints and again for the cover of the 2013 Deviant Edition hardcover, we’ve gone back to the original black and white art to create a beautiful screenprint! </i><i>Signed by Kevin O’Neill and limited to just 100 copies, the screenprint retails for £35. It is A3 (42.0 x 59.4cm, 11.69 x 16.53 inches) and printed on 270gsm Mohawk Superfine acid-free & archival paper</i>.</div>

I was lucky enough to be offered by Pat and Lisa Mills one of the 10 A/P copies (also signed by Pat Mills), my sincere gratitude for that!</div>

In addition to this article, and for more detailed insights about the reproduction quality, don't hesitate to read this <a href="http://www.comicbookdaily.com/ae-reviews/review-mike-mignolas-amazing-screw-head-curious-objects-artists-edition/">Comic Book Daily review by Scott VanderPloeg</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Notice only for the sake of completeness (not complaining here, really, this book is truly beautiful as it is) that some material from the original <i>Amazing Screw-On Head</i> comics and Dark Horse collected edition are not featured in this Artist's Edition.<br />
<br />
For instance, this is the case for the illustrations on the second of cover of the original 2002 comic.<br />

This "collector's edition " box set was published in November 2016 by DC comics (ISBN: 978-1-4012-7013-1, 11.5 x 7.5 inches or 29 x 19 cm, cover price $49.99, 4 x pages), and the books inside the slipcase are a little oversized (11 x 7.3 inches or 28 x 18.5 cm) by comparison with a regular comic size. The slipcase in itself is conceived to let a little lateral void horizontally and vertically, thus it is not as tight as a DC "absolute" edition slipcase.<br />

A picture below is for size comparison between the first book and <i>The Dark Knight Returns</i> Absolute edition, as well as book two of <i>Dark Knight III The Master Race</i> collector's edition.<br />
The box set has been designed by Amie Brockway-Metcalf, and Jeb Woodard is credited as group editor of collected editions. Notice that the overall size and design of this collector's slipcase box set is very similar to the <a href="http://myabsolutecollection.blogspot.com/2016/03/batman-dark-knight-iii-master-race.html"><i>Dark Knight III</i> collector's box set</a> (as well as the <a href="http://myabsolutecollection.blogspot.com/2017/04/watchmen-collectors-edition-box-set.html"><i>Watchmen</i> 2016 collector's box set</a>): covers of the slipcase form a single illustration, and the spines are numbered at the bottom. The publisher refers to this collected line as slipcase editions at <i>DC’s Deluxe Edition trim size</i>.<br />

Second and third of cover of each glued binding book are plain black (yes glued binding, regarding the relative high price of this box set DC could have taken more care about the quality of the finishing).<br />

Each hardcover book in the slipcase is printed on glossy paper. I don't own the original comics but the aim of DC was to reprint each issue of the original <i>Batman The Dark Knight Returns</i> miniseries in its own hardcover volume (although it is only the title of the first book). Thus, it is a "collector's edition" without any extra section.<br />
<br />
Here is <b>book one </b><i><b>The Dark Knight Return</b>s</i>:<br />

Although dated November 2016 in the credit page, this book was published by IDW in Febrary 2017 (ISBN: 978-1-63140-760-4 cover A <i>Tom Strong</i>, and 978-1-63140-757-4 cover B <i>Promethea</i>, Artist's Edition #47, 12.5 x 17.3 inches or 31,5 x 44 cm, $125 for 224 pages), and was printed on thick mat paper. This edition was available with two different covers. I have chosen the <i>Promethea</i> cover, and here is the <i>Tom Strong</i> cover (notice that both covers are featured in the book):<br />

One of the picture below is for size comparison with the <i>Promethea Absolute Edition Vol 1</i> and <i>Promethea #1</i>. There are also pictures of the varnish effect on the cover, and of the sewn binding (the book has been printed in China).<br />

First we have the <i>Tom Strong</i> section, with the last issue of the series. There are few examples below where this Artist's Edition is compared to the original colored comics to better understand how the art was conceived by Chris Sprouse (as stated in the table of contents, most of this material was printed from pencils that were digitally inked and painted).</div>

<br />
Then we move to the <i>Promethea</i> section. All the interior pages of the series has been conceived to be a succession of double spread, and seeing here the art of J. H. Williamw III in all its splendor makes me regret that the DC <i>Immateria</i> edition (with "à l'italienne" printing format) is in limbo for the time being.<br />

<br />
The third section is dedicated to <i>Top 10</i>, with art by Gene Ha and Zander Canon. At this point I truly believe that Alan Moore had created for a too brief moment his own Golden Age of comics.<br />

Another highlight of this book, is the section dedicated to Steve Moore and Arthur Adams <i>Jonny Future.</i> Adam's art is took to an all new level in this format.

Cover illustration (front and back) originates from the first 1988 collected edition. Second and third of cover use the same illustration with a light grey background (from the cover of the second DC hardcover collected edition). The 1988 original introduction written by Denny O'Neil, as well as Frank Miller afterword are included in book one.<br />

<br />
The main part of book one reprints the original four issues 1987 mini-series (<i>Batman</i> #404-407) on thick white mat paper, with all pages "rescanned from the original board". The result is in my eyes very similar to the 2005/2012 Deluxe editions.<br />
<br />
Here from top to bottom, book one of this absolute edition, 2012 deluxe edition and 2005 edition.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The examples below show that in the absolute edition, the colors are closer to the original comics, although there are still sometimes important differences.<br />
<br />

Notice the different colors, especially the backgrounds of the TV screens. The 2005/2012 Deluxe editions feature the same coloring, although the scans have been cleaned.<br />
<br />
And here is the same panel from book one of the absolute edition where colors are closer to the original comics (except for one of the mics and the journalist hair).<br />

Below are compared another page between book one (left hand side, 1988 "blue-line coloring" from the first collected edition) and book two (right hand side, 1987 original coloring) of this absolute edition, with important differences in the choice of colors:<br />

If there is a problem with this absolute edition (and I think there is), book two is the perfect illustration of that problem. And I wonder who has the silly idea of proposing a scanned version of the original newsprint comics as a valuable extra (we are talking about a $125 edition)? And why this idea was green-lighted is beyond me...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Original covers as well as letter columns (from issues #408-411) were also scanned from mint-condition copies, but don't expect me to say hurray! for that. And notice that even the paper used for the second book is of significantly lower quality than for book one (thin mat yellowed paper).</div>

On the other hand, including the complete scripts and layouts is what we can expect for a definitive edition (which that edition is not). But someone had another really bad idea: printing most of the layouts in thumbnail format (although some has been printed in full page size in the 2012 edition), and on thin low quality mat paper.<br />
<br />
This is so frustrating, and ultimately sad.<br />

Published in 2005 (ISBN: 1-4012-0690-5, 135 pages, 10.5 x 7 inches or 27 x 18 cm, $19.99 cover price) this edition was overseen by David Mazzucchelli with editor Dale Crain. It features a brand new cover, second and third of cover, the 1988 re-coloring by Richmond Lewis and additional extras not included in previous collected editions. The overall design shows a great unity, starting with the cover/back cover/spine illustration:<br />

The book opens with a two pages introduction written by the original editor of the 4 parts series Dennis O'Neil dated March 1988 (originally from the first 1988 TPB). This edition reprints the 1987 four issues mini series <i>Batman Year One</i> with their virgin covers and chapter breaks. Notice that from the moment this story was collected in a single volume, it has been recolored (by Richmond Lewis in 1988).<br />

After the overall design, the second main thing to notice here is the fact that this 2005 edition was printed on very slightly brownish mat paper, while the 2012 edition was printed on glossy bright white paper. Hence, although both editions feature the same coloring, colors are not toned down in the 2012 deluxe editions, as they were in the original comics. On the examples below the 2012 edition is on the left hand side, and the 2005 edition on the right hand side.<br />

<br />
The third thing to keep in mind (besides the 2012 edition being bigger and having a canvas hardcover), is that the two editions have the exact same content (main part, introduction, afterwords, extras), so I haven't take any pictures specific to the 2005 editions (they are featured in the next section for the 2012 deluxe edition).<br />

Published in 2012 by DC (ISBN: 978-1-4012-3342-6, 11 x 7.5 inches or 28 x 19 cm, 135 pages, cover price $24.99), this deluxe edition comes with a fully illustrated jacket and an embossed canvas black hardcover. It is printed on thin glossy paper and features a glued binding (printed and bound in the USA). Notice that this deluxe edition is bigger than the 2005 Chip Kidd edition:<br />

Through the comments section of this article, <i>The Passenger </i>drew my attention to the fact that David Mazzucchelli is really not pleased with the 2012 version (see also <a href="http://gfbrobot.com/2012/03/12/david-mazzucchelli-gives-new-batman-year-one-thumb-down/">this link</a>):<br />
<br />
<i>"I didn’t even know they were making it, and I don’t understand why they thought it was necessary — several years ago, DC asked me if I’d help put together a deluxe edition of Batman: Year One, and Dale Crain and I worked for months to try to make a definitive version. Now whoever’s in charge has thrown all that work in the garbage".</i><br />
<br />
Indeed the 2005 unified design from cover to the interior opening pages has been ignored, and second and third of covers are now both plain black (i.e. part of the second of cover and all third of cover of the 2005 edition are missing).<br />
