☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the four-issue miniseries Before Watchmen: Ozymandias by writer Len Wein and artist Jae Lee, which explores the origins and motivations of Adrian Veidt, the world's smartest man, as he sets his grand plan in motion. It also includes the four-issue backup feature Before Watchmen: The Curse of the Crimson Corsair, a pirate-themed prose story illustrated by John Higgins that ties into the world of Watchmen. Together, these stories expand the backstory of the original graphic novel's universe before the events of the main narrative.
In "I Met a Traveler...!", Len Wein and Jae Lee explore the early days of Alexander Veidt, a mind far ahead of its time, as he transforms from a grieving son into a man driven by ambition and loss. With Jae Lee’s striking art and June Chung’s vivid colors, this prequel reveals the origins of a genius who would one day wear the mask of Ozymandias—cover by Jae Lee and John Higgins.
In "I Met a Traveler...!", a young Alexander Veidt grapples with loss and grief after the death of his girlfriend, setting him on a path that leads him to don a costume and embrace a life of heroism.
