What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a comic-panel meme built on a drawing of Doctor Manhattan, the glowing blue figure from Watchmen, standing enormous and serene in a burst of light. A smaller figure in the lower left raises a hand and asks "Source?" while the caption over Manhattan answers "It was revealed to me in a dream." The joke concerns unsupported claims; the specific comic issue and artist of the source panel are unverified. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
