DC Comics is bringing Watchmen #1 into its DC W.I.P. line as a massive oversize presentation of Dave Gibbons’s original art, on sale September 23, 2026 for $14.99 (32 pages, Mature), according to an AIPT preview (Sep 18) and Comic Previews / FOC listings.
The pitch: get up close with Gibbons’s Watchmen #1 artwork in an oversized original-art presentation, plus a brand-new introduction by Gibbons. Credits list writer Alan Moore and artist/cover Dave Gibbons — presenting the classic issue’s art rather than a new narrative sequel.
