watchman video wall - the villian's


apparently this is in the comic - which i actually have somewhere. right here in fact.
bearing its eerie similarity to, of course - which the artist may have seen and known when he made this.


it occurs to me i've never asked anyone involved in man who fell about this wall. 1976. nam june's work was up and about by then - or he may just have gotten the idea from walking into a TV store.
speaking of which, this is a pretty multichannel site here. comparing the drawings with the film:
osterman doc manhanttan

Penis blurred as not to offend the puritans

the comedian edward blake

Pretty good simmilarities eh?

ozymandias video screen

Note 1 : the top shot was changed in the final movie. this was taken from the trailer.
Note 2 : look at the TV screen for spoiler on the original ending

Archie is awesome

I want an Archie now

fortress solitude on mars

Fortress solitude went through major changes! The original looks like the gears in a watch and hourglass. An homage to Osterman's watchmaker origin.

Death by physics!

Death by physics!
