A rare teaser one-sheet distributed exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con in 2008 to promote Zack Snyder's Watchmen. Dated "03.06.09" for the film's US theatrical release date, the poster depicts a frame from the sequence in Alan Moore's original comic book of the same name in which Adrian Veidt, aka Ozymandias, attacked his cigar-chomping comrade Edward Blake, aka The Comedian, in Blake's apartment. In the film, Veidt (Matthew Goode) and Blake's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) fight was recreated with exacting attention to the original comics.

This poster's artwork was designed and drawn by Dave Gibbons with coloring by John Higgins, the same two artists responsible for the original comics. It features multiple Easter Eggs, including Gibbons and Higgins' credits concealed in a newspaper clipping along with the classic tagline "Who Watches the Watchmen?" as well as images of Sally Jupiter, aka Silk Spectre, and Dr. Jon Osterman, aka Doctor Manhattan. The one-sheet exhibits creasing from being rolled. Dimensions: 27" x 40" (68.75 cm x 101.75 cm)

Estimate: $100 - 200
