Awesome, awesome, awesome! What a fun picture. I hope this movie is good. The Alan Moore film translations have been a mixed bag, to be sure.

I keep thinking that this image is based exactly on a drawn version in the original series, but as I flip through my Watchmen hardcover, I just find some small partially obscured versions of the photo with nowhere near this detail. Goes to show how iconic some of the images were. Its burned in my memory despite the fact I never saw it clearly, I just saw the posed group and knew there was a picture taken at that moment.
