☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the four-issue Before Watchmen: Ozymandias miniseries by Len Wein and Jae Lee, alongside the three-issue Before Watchmen: Crimson Corsair backup feature by Wein and John Higgins. The Ozymandias story delves into Adrian Veidt's transformation from a driven young genius into the world's smartest man and his calculated path toward his grand plan, while the Crimson Corsair tale presents a pirate-themed narrative set within the Watchmen universe. Both stories expand on the world of the original series, offering new perspectives on its characters and themes.
In "I Met a Traveler...!", writer Len Wein and artist Jae Lee explore the early days of a young Alexander Veidt, whose brilliance remains concealed until tragedy strikes. After losing his parents, he sets out to build power and wealth—until a personal loss drives him to don a costume and take up a crusade. With striking art by Jae Lee and vivid colors by June Chung, this prequel delivers a gripping look at the origins of one of comics' most enigmatic minds, all wrapped in a cover by Jae Lee and John Higgins.
In "I Met a Traveler...!", a young Alexander Veidt grapples with loss and ambition, channeling grief into a drive to reshape his destiny. As he steps into the shadows, he begins crafting a legacy—both as a man of intellect and a figure of legend.
In a chilling encounter that reshapes his destiny, Ozymandias faces off against the Comedian, a clash that echoes long after the fight ends. Months later, a fateful meeting with Dr. Manhattan sets Ozymandias on a path that leads him to build his fortress in Antarctica and begin his grand design.
