Sam, I don't think it has anything to do with Moore not having faith in his work. the fact is, Watchmen was one of the first trade paperbacks; Moore had no reason to believe it would stay in print for more than a year, simply because there were no previous instances of TPBs staying in print for over a year. This was new territory at the time. It was probably a perfectly reasonable expectation that the book would stay on the shelves for a few months at most and then go out of print, because there were no examples of anything other than that happening, at least as far as the American market was concerned.

As far as I'm concerned, this whole exercise is just a cheap cash-in which rubs salt into Moore's wounds again. On principle alone, I wouldn't touch these books with a barge pole.

Dotter of Her Father's Eyes marks the Talbots' first collaborative effort in the field, and Broken Frontier asked them how it came about.

It's a shame, but sadly the Golden Age was a long time ago and the few of that generation who are still with us are all in their eighties or older. It becomes more and more inevitable there'll be less of them each year. And at least 98 is a good age.

Joe Simon, one of the comic industry’s most significant creators of the 20th Century, passed away on Wednesday December 15th at the not unimpressive age of 98, but the legacy he leaves behind will almost certainly live a lot longer.

Always sad to see yet another of the all time comics greats pass on. Jerry must have been one of the few left from that generation of creators who pretty much started it all.
