Description
Watchmen by Alan Moore (writer) and Dave Gibbons (artist) is a genre-defining graphic novel that revolutionized the comic book industry. Set in an alternate 1985 where the United States won the Vietnam War and Richard Nixon remains president, the story explores a world where superheroes have been outlawed, and the line between good and evil is blurred.
When a former hero known as The Comedian is murdered, masked vigilante Rorschach begins investigating, uncovering a conspiracy that could change the world. As he draws former heroes like Dr. Manhattan, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, and Ozymandias back into action, they confront dark secrets from their pasts and question what it truly means to be a hero.
With mature themes like power, morality, identity, and existentialism, Watchmen goes beyond traditional superhero stories. It’s widely acclaimed for its complex narrative structure, symbolism, nine-panel grid artwork, and philosophical depth.
