<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi all, <br />
<br />
I’m working on a comic that, like <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Watchmen</span></em>, pretty much exclusively uses the nine-panel grid or variations of it. I was wondering if anyone knows whether <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Watchmen</span></em>, certainly the first to popularize this grid, was the first to use it to such a degree? There must be earlier examples, even of single pages using the grid, but I’m unfortunately not well-versed in comics before the eighties. Basically, I’m wondering if—much as this comic, <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Seeds,</span></em> is clearly drawing on a lineage to <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Watchmen</span></em>—if <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Watchmen</span></em> was visually establishing its own lineage, much as it does metatextually and thematically, and what that lineage is, exactly. <br />
<br />
Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.<br />
<br />
Best,<br />
Aidan</span></p>
