 To coincide with the debut of the film, a video game series, Watchmen: The End Is Nigh, was launched in the same year. [([[https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/6353|Launchbox]])]
+===== Series =====
+Watchmen was developed by writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons and debuted in the 50th anniversary issue of DC Spotlight in 1985. It was finally released by DC Comics as a 12-issue maxiseries, with cover dates ranging from September 1986 to October 1987. It was later collected in a DC Comics trade paperback in 1987, with at least 24 printings as of March 2017. [([[https://www.gradesaver.com/watchmen/wikipedia/publication-history|Grade Saver]])]
+===== Limited Edition =====
+DC issued a limited-edition, slipcased hardback volume designed by Graphitti Design in February 1988. It included 48 pages of extra content, including the original proposal and concept drawings. [([[https://watchmen.co.il/releases/|Watchmen]])]
+===== Smiley Face =====
+Gibbons designed a smiling face insignia as part of The Comedian's suit to "lighten" the overall look. Later, a spray of blood was added to the badge to symbolize his murder. According to Gibbons, the creators came to see the blood-stained happy face as "a metaphor for the entire series".
