![]() She became an important and powerful FBI agent while he was jailed for those very same crimes. The memo notes, “Dreiberg, now in federal custody, has steadfastly refused to speak to the Bureau about ‘Rorschach’s Journal,’ or anything, for that matter.”Īfter a decade on the lam together, the couple, both fugitives, were arrested in 1995. Meanwhile, Dan Dreiberg has been in jail for the last 24 years, where he hasn’t said anything about what really happened in 1985. She has since become an FBI agent, one the memo writer goes to great pains to show absolute respect to. The pair had also helped Rorschach escape from jail in October 1985, days before the squid appeared in New York City. In 1995, the pair were arrested for violating the Keene Act, which had outlawed masked vigilantism in 1977. A memo titled “ Rorschach’s Journal,” which outlines how the missing vigilante became the hero of far right terrorists, also includes information on both Laurie Blake and Dan Dreiberg. Fortunately HBO’s companion website “ Peteypedia” includes some information on what happened to him in the last three decades. And just like Eddie Blake, Laurie now works for the government in an official capacity.īut while her new name and job tell us a lot about her, it doesn’t reveal what happened to Night Owl. The Comedian underwent the exact same transformation during his vigilante career. What we do know is that in her final moments in the comic, she said she wanted a “better costume” that protected her, “maybe something leather” with a mask over her face, and “also maybe” a gun. There are much worse names for an FBI agent to have than Blake. Is it an homage born out of love? A way to remind herself of the painful complexities of life? Maybe it was a practical decision, because while the Comedian was a detestable human, he was also a respected government employee. She learned at the end of the graphic novel the Comedian, Eddie Blake, was her father, and since then has taken his name as her own. ![]()  Jean Smart plays the former hero Silk Spectre on HBO’s Watchmen, though she now goes by the name Laurie Blake.
