BEFORE WATCHMEN has been officially announced today from DC Entertainment. The project, which has been brewing for some time now under the code name Panic Room, has the blessing of co-creator Dave Gibbons, while estranged co-creator Alan Moore told The New York Times this morning the project was “completely shameless.” The series’ first-issue cover art are posted above, while below are the creative teams for new titles:

Minutemen by Darwyn Cooke

Silk Spectre by Darwyn Cooke and Amanda Conner

Rorschach by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo

Comedian by Brian Azzarello and J.G. Jones

Doctor Manhattan by J. Michael Straczynski and Adam Hughes

Nite Owl by J. Michael Straczynski, Andy and Joe Kubert

Ozymandias by Len Wein and Jae Lee

Curse of the Crimson Corsair by Len Wein and John Higgins will be a two-page back story running at the end of every Before Watchmen comic published.

…are you excited?

50 Years of Comic Book Art by Joe Kubert Going to Auction - NYTimes.com

Joe Kubert, a comic book artist since 1938, has little interest in the accumulated work of his last seven decades; his focus is on new projects, he said recently. But comic book fans who feel differently about this celebrated illustrator will have a chance to peruse and even own some of that older work this week, when 18 covers and interior pages, published from the 1940s to 1990, are put up for sale.
