Before Watchmen: Ozymandias/Crimson Corsair by Len Wein

4.0

While the Crimson Corsair half of this book is equal parts dumb and gross and I could have lived very comfortably without a Dollar Bill stand alone issue I loved Ozymandias. Wein is at the peak of his powers as a story teller and really fleshes out probably the least developed character from the original Watchmen. At the same time Lee's artwork is consistently beautiful and those issues have the best panel designs I've ever seen by a mile and have really changed my perception of what comics are capable of. The shame of this collection is how front loaded it is. The first two thirds is pure eye candy but everything that comes after Ozmandias is just hard to look at and left me flat.
