Been revisiting Watchmen because of incoming film hype etc: It occurred to me that the big alien monstro-being that sends ou tthe psychic deathshriek looks remarkably like Starro the conqueror, the JLA's very first adversary. Thoughts?

I looked this fellow up, but he didn't look squiddy enough.

It's actually more like THE CENTRE/CENTER from New Frontier! Referencign something that came along 20 yrs later? Kudos, Mr. Moore!

btw, I totally thought the Centre/Center was gonna turn out to be Starro.
Me too. That it turned out to be dinosaur island is still pretty cool, though.

When I re-read Watchmen I was shocked at the ending because for some reason I remembered them making everything right somehow and I was totally shaken when the ending was SO FUCKED UP and different from what I remembered.
