Watchmen

Book • 1987
Watchmen is a groundbreaking graphic novel that deconstructs the superhero genre.

Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons, with colours by John Higgins, it explores the human failings of superheroes in an alternate timeline where historical events have unfolded differently.

The story delves into themes of power, morality, and the complexities of human nature, set against the backdrop of the Cold War era.

It is known for its layered storytelling, nuanced dialogue, and its impact on the comic book industry by addressing taboo themes such as abuse of power, conspiracy, and social decay.
