...other century you care to name. Along with writer Alan Moore, he is one half of the team that in 1986 created the seminal Watchmen, a graphic novel so painstakingly crafted and darkly radical that its publication changed the superhero genre forever. If you're wondering where The Dark Knight got its darkness, look no further. Zack Snyder, director of 300, recently wrapped a movie adaptation of Watchmen, and this month Titan Books is publishing a new book by Gibbons called Watching the Watchmen, a gorgeous, oversized graphical history of how Watchmen came to be.

It's about 45 seconds and there's no dialogue or words on the screen. It's brilliantly...
...bankers and others who work at Canary Wharf, the docklands development where Barclays, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and many others have their offices. Greenwich is just a short hop from the wharf, thanks to the Docklands Light Railway. Liam Bailey, head of residential research at the real estate firm Knight Frank, says the gentrification started a decade or so ago and has accelerated in the past five years. Knight Frank is currently offering one-bedroom apartments with river views there starting at about $500,000 apiece...
