This is the first issue in the Ozymandias mini-series, written by legendary creato Len Wein with stunning painted-style artwork by Jae Lee.

This issue provides a deep psychological look into Adrian Veidt (Ozymandias) and acts as a prequel to the world-famous Watchmen series. The interior art is vibrant and iconic, and the book features the full creative team, including June Chung, John Workman, and variant cover contributions by Jim Lee and Alex Sinclair.

The cover shows Ozymandias levitating above an ancient stone artifact—classic Jae Lee atmospheric illustration with gold and violet tones.

A must-have for collectors of Watchmen, DC prequels, or Jae Lee fans.
