Watchmen - Tales of the Black Freighter

Friday, July 25th, 2008 | Comic Books |

Part of The Watchmen storyline involves “Tales of the Black Freighter,” a comic book one of the characters reads that parallels events in the main story. The producers of the upcoming Watchmen movie chose (wisely, I think) to not confuse movie audiences with a story-within-the story, but to instead include Black Freight on the eventual DVD release.

Boredomfestival has collected all of the Black Freighter story segments from the graphic novel version (er, minus lots of frame art) into one page.

I don’t know much about Watchmen (I pretty much stuck to Iron Man, Sergeant Rock and The Phantom when I was a kid) but I recall “The Black Freighter” from my Celtic music days. Is there a connection?
