This year marked the 25th anniversary of Watchmen. But... at the end of 2006 - in the occasion of its 20th anniversary - I edited "Watchmen 20 anni dopo", an Italian Watchmen tribute book which was basicallya collection of 12 brand new essays by well known comics experts analyzing Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons masterpiece. The volume was published by Lavieri, a small Italian publisher, with all net profits donated to AIMA, the Italian Alzheimer organization.
The book also contained a 24 illustration gallery: above you can admire Ozymandias drawn by Italian superstar artist CLAUDIO VILLA who gave his permission to show here the piece. Enjoy! And many thanks to Mr. Villa, of course!
