This weekend, DC Comics launched a website for The New Frontiersman, the fictional newspaper first seen in Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen. It’s a front page with some stories “to be continued on page…” and no pages to flip through. It was a pretty unremarkable little site, even if the idea of setting up a viral marketing site for a comic book event was pretty cool. It also features links to additional images when you click on certain pieces of highlighted text, giving you a look at some images from the series and a peek behind the curtain of its creation, including the first look most fans (those outside of C2E2 this weekend) have had to see how the pages look in action (see the image at left).
