The art of the comic, while amazingly skilled, was never my top favorite, Gibbons is so... static. Sort of the anti-Kirby. But the story was (while also pretty static) amazing and complex and unique.
I must say, from still photos it looks like they've tried hard to be true to the comic. And I see they even kept the newsstand and the pirate comic! I would have been sure that would have been one the things that'd had to be jettisoned in the name of space.

As far as I know, they dropped the pirate sub-story and made it as an animated short film.
Actually, they did jettison the pirate comic. It's coming to DVD as an animated short. Hollis Mason's autobiography will also be present as a live-action bit.
Really? Interesting. I saw a still of the news stand and the young man reading the pirate comic, so I just assumed the pirate story would be there, since that seems to be the point of that location.

(Seems in the first interview he was not aware that it was gonna be animated, or did not mention it, which is odd, since it sounds like they were already making it.)
The graphic style of those stills is inconstant, but feels strangely familiar.
Odd, that: I've never read Watchmen...
Say, Eo, why do you always mention your web links in this odd format?
It's to make sure they are not too wide for the column.

I was disappointed to find out it was only an intro.
