It also gives a good idea as to how many rewrites and such Moore went through before getting a final draft (that's quite an expansion, unless 24 is merely just the page of the individual chapter, notice how on the Long page it says 123).

About to start counting and try to send out a guesstimate. Good luck to everyone! Deadline approaches!

So, the entries have all been checked and the winner of the Watchmen Holiday Contest is in...
http://www.watchmencomicmovie.com/121409-watchmen-typescript-contest.php

The winner is Elise K. from Lancaster, PA with a guess of 1,042 pages.

The correct page length of the original Watchmen typescript, according to Dave Gibbons, is 1,032. Elise was only 10 pages off!

The longest chapter was Chapter 7: A brother To Dragons at 111 pages.

Thanks all for entering!

I'm curious: Who is this Elise K? I mean, she has to be one of us, right?

Step forward and let yourself be known, lucky winner!

Ummm hi guys. I'm the fabled Elise K. I'm usually just a lurker here, but I decided to finally register and drop by to say thanks and general well-wishing. Mostly I am just really really surprised that I won.

She could do like Homer did in that one episode of The Simpsons to the first issue of Spider-Man.

If she really wanted to mess with us, she could make a video tape of her eating it.

Good Lord, I wasn't even close. I was about 700 pages above the actual number.

I guessed around 1,200 or so, I wasn't TOO far out!

I guessed the longest chapter was the one with the Comedian's funeral, as there were so many different settings such as the Vietnam war and the riots and stuff

Damn. I wasn't even close :(

I guessed 447 and pegged Ch. IV as the longest chapter.
