Dr. Manhattan starts a relationship with Laurie when she’s 16 and he’s in his 30s. This is acknowledged but Dr. Manhattan is never punished for it.

theskyboi's review against another edition

This was definitely a comic book, as opposed to a graphic novel; I prefer the onscreen interpretation by Regina King.
