Fifty years ago, DC was on the front lines of celebrating America’s bicentennial anniversary. Commemorative banners were emblazoned across the headers of covers, and the company marked the momentous year with the very first DC/Marvel crossover in Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man, written by the late, great Gerry Conway. With America’s 250th anniversary (or semiquincentennial if you like to be fancy), there are fifty years’ worth of additional comics to read and mark the occasion.

The discussions of reverence continue with the legendary 12-issue maxiseries Watchmen! Speaking on all they admire, Don and Harry then go into the recent material that’s colored the franchise such as the 2009 film, the various and controversial Before Watchmen miniseries’, and Alan Moore’s effect on the fandom at large!
