Watchmen and V for Vendetta get Local Comic Shop Day editions

Participating shops can offer two deluxe hardcovers and two first-issue facsimile variants on September 26.

DC's Local Comic Shop Day range pairs Watchmen and V for Vendetta on Saturday, September 26 . The organiser's announcement lists a deluxe hardcover event edition of each graphic novel , plus Local Comic Shop Day facsimile variants of Watchmen #1 and V for Vendetta #1. The Watchmen comics mark their 40th anniversary in

2026; the notice does not date V for Vendetta to the same anniversary. Each hardcover is described with an exclusive dust jacket and a digital redemption code for its corresponding screen adaptation . The organiser does not state the code's territory, expiration or platform terms on that page. Readers choosing for the

digital extra should inspect the physical book and redemption terms before purchase. The facsimiles are separate first-issue products, not extras automatically bundled with the hardcovers. Availability is tied to participating Local Comic Shop Day retailers , not every comics outlet or every country. As one concrete

example, Vault of Midnight's Grand Rapids event listing names both hardcovers for its September 26 event and says its own LCSD items are in-person, first come, first served, with no holds or preorders. Those are that retailer's rules; ask your own shop what it is carrying before travelling. For a different early

edition at the event, see Mythscribe's Dungeon Crawler Carl volume 2 guide. Headline image: official Watchmen Local Comic Shop Day deluxe-edition jacket art, courtesy of DC and Local Comic Shop Day.
