Watchmen: The Comic Dub (Chapter 1 & Chapter 2)

Project Overview

A fan dub of the infamous 1986 graphic novel Watchmen, written by Alan Moore and with by Dave Gibbons. I want people who don't necessarily read many comic books to be able to experience and enjoy this brilliant comic with its original artwork, beautiful colours, great dialogue and a fitting cast of voices to along with it. Originally born out of a desire to dub the 2008 Motion Comic, which suffered from having a single narrator and cut down dialogue, I'm coming back this project full of motivation to show off Watchmen as it was meant to be seen.

This is a non-profit fan project that I will be editing and composing music for in my spare time in between work. As a result, this is an unpaid project. If the hefty dialogue and monologues are too much to do for free, I completely understand! But I'm very excited to be working on this and I hope others will join in and have fun with these very fun roles.

If anyone has any questions at all, you can reach me via email: [redacted] or through discord OopySpoopyMan#0979 

Looking forward to working with some of you lovely people. Good luck and have fun!

Latest Updates

  • As We Approach The Deadline

    Hi everyone! Sorry I've been slow to post any updates, I've been balancing preparations for this dub with my regular job and it's been a bit hectic. I'm really excited about all the auditions that have come in over the last few weeks, and I really wanna thank everyone for their interest - we've had some really good auditions come through. Over the next couple weeks or so I'm going to be going over the auditions again and starting to finalize who will be cast for what role. Some of these will carry over into future chapters, and some won't, but I really appreciate everyone's enthusiasm all the same. As I thought might happen, most of the auditions received have gone into the lead roles (Dreiberg, Dr. Manhattan, etc.) which leave quite a few minor and extra roles to be filled. So, with that, I encourage anyone auditioning to please go for these small roles too. Even if you end up being cast for a lead role or not cast at all, lending your talents to even the one-line roles will be a huge help in getting this off the ground. All in all, I'm really excited to start casting and talking to some of you guys personally. I hope we can make something really great come from all this. Take care and hope you all have a good day. -Josh

  • Rorschach…? Uh… is, no! No, of course I don’t mind… Uh… you want me to heat those up for you or anything…?

  • Ha ha ha. He tried that with me, only I’d heard about him, so I just walked away. He follows me down the street, broad daylight, right? He’s saying “Punish me!” I’m saying “No! Get lost!”

  • Uh, well, he pulled it on Rorschach and Rorschach dropped him down an elevator shaft.

Sophisticated middle aged male, slightly flamboyant 

  • I never claimed to be anybody special, Rorschach. I just have some over-enthusiastic P.R. men.

  • Not necessarily. The Comedian had plenty of other political enemies to choose from, even discounting the Russians. The man was practically a Nazi.

  • Rorschach… I know we were never friends, but even so, you’re being unfair.

Young, intelligent woman

  • Blake was a bastard. He was a monster. Y’know he tried to rape my mother back when they were both Minutemen?

  • I keep thinking “I’m thirty-five. What have I done?” I’ve spent eight years in semi-retirement, preceded by ten years running round in a stupid costume because my stupid mother wanted me to!

  • Yeah? Well, Jon told me about some of the stuff Blake did in ‘Nam. Sounds like he had a strange sense of humor.

  • A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally there’s no discernable difference.

  • You’re a strange man, Blake. You have strange attitudes to life and war.

  • Blake, she was pregnant. You gunned her down.

Gruff American male, possibly a slight Southern accent. Depicted as both young and middle aged.

  • Once you figure out what a joke everything is, being the Comedian’s the only thing that makes sense.

  • My government contacts tell me some new act is being herded through. Until then, we’re society’s only protection.

  • Rorschach’s nuts. He’s been nuts ever since that kidnapping he handled three years back. Him, Byron Lewis, Jon goddamn walking H-Bomb Osterman… all nuts.

  • I saw the body, an’ he looked beefy enough to protect himself. For a guy his age, he was in terrific shape. 

  • This guy, this Blake guy, the occupant… he had muscles like a weightlifter. He would have put up some kind’a fight, I’m certain.

  • A little money got stolen, but no way is this a straight burglary… somebody really had it in for this guy.

  • What about Rorschach? Rorschach never retired, even after him and his buddies fell outta grace. Rorschach’s still out there somewhere.

  • Y’know, I always wonder… do you think you black out before you hit the sidewalk or what?
