About this Collection

This volume collects the Before Watchmen: Nite Owl and Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan miniseries, published by DC in 2013. J. Michael Straczynski writes both stories, with Andy and Joe Kubert illustrating Nite Owl and Adam Hughes handling Dr. Manhattan. The Nite Owl tale explores Dan Dreiberg's early days as a costumed hero and his partnership with Hollis Mason, while Dr. Manhattan delves into Jon Osterman's transformation and his increasingly detached view of humanity, set before the events of the original Watchmen series.
