Before Watchmen: Rorschach is a 4 issue comic of the series Before Watchmen written by Brian Azzarello and Art by Lee Bermejo. The story follows Rorschach in New York City, 1977, where his crime-fighting activities cause him to be targeted by a crime lord running drugs and prostitution in the then-sordid Times Square. While focused on the gang, Rorschach makes the mistake of allowing another predator to operate unchallenged.
