No; it is a single complete story that lasts for the 12 issues. I don't think that fleshing out the story on either end (prequel or sequel) would work.
After you read the set, you should search the web for other Watchmen websites; some have an amazing panel-by-panel analysis of the stories that will show you just how excellent the series is. I only read it last year, since a co-worker loaned me his bound copy of the entire set.
