Watchmen


I just wanted to make this comment: I find the wording in the comic within this comic really good. For example, on page 2 of Chapter 3 it says: "Bosun Ridley lay nearby. Birds were eating his thoughts and memories."

What a nice way to explain someone's brains being pecked out by birds, huh?

You must be referring to the comic book within "Watchmen," "Tales of the Black Freighter." I liked how metafiction (Which is a story within a story) was played with for the sake of story development and forshadowing.

I like that line too. I found it very interesting to read a comic within a comic, especially because Moore allowed them to flow into each other.
