Don't Buy Watchmen!!

I remember reading, a long time ago, that one of the reasons Alan Moore hates DC Comics is because of their treatment towards him during the initial publication of Watchmen. At the time, Moore had worked for DC on Saga of the Swamp Thing, some mainstream super-hero stuff, and a few odd fill-ins here and there. He knew how the game was played, I would assume. For Watchmen, he must have had a different game plan in mind.
Basically, DC put a clause into the contract that said, "When Watchmen goes out of print, the copyright reverts back to Alan Moore" (and maybe Dave Gibbons, too). Some might say that no one could have predicted how long Watchmen would remain "in print," but it's also unclear what exactly would constitute "out of print," as well. Anyway, to Moore's (presumably) sedated mind, it sounded like a fair enough shake.
Flash forward to 20 years, and Watchmen is probably the most massively-distributed Western comic of all time. Unless you count that first issue of McFarlane's "Spider-Man." It seems like everyone bought that thing. Anyway, the point is, if no one buys Watchmen, the rights will be reverted back to the creators. Simple enough, right? So don't buy Watchmen. And tell everyone you know not to buy Watchmen, either. Maybe the chain reaction will undo a creative injustice. Plus, you can always get Watchmen from the library, a friend's house, or even through an online torrent site. If you're really desperate, email me and I'll help you find a copy. Just don't buy it.
