My first graphic novel, that too one hailed as one of the greatest graphic novel. The reason for the term graphic novel for serious comics and the only graphic novel to appear on Time's 2005 "All-Time 100 Greatest Novels" list. With a very complex and compelling story Alan Moore redefined superheroes while Dave Gibbon's illustrations alleviated Moore's scripting. Even better than its movie adaptation which I loved. Watchmen's philosophical and political content makes it much better in each rereading also the genius illustration which hides a lot in it as the creators meant it to be only understandable on more than one rereading.
Rorschach, The Comedian, Dr.Manhattan and Ozymandius are some of the greatest characters I have read or seen.
In a world where superheroes are outlawed and no one is interested in them, when nuclear war can break out any time in the world the fate of the future of human race itself is in question. By the death of a former superhero a chain of events starts where some of the former heroes comes out of the shadows only to understand how very little they can do when the world itself seems to be asking for a catastrophe.
While the ending is significantly different from the movie, both works on its own right.
This is a piece of literature that is one of the best books I have read yet.
Only one question I have left really
Who will watch the Watchmen?
Not just the superhero team but people who have powers reminiscent to superheroes (Metaphorically ofcourse). Are we safe from them? Are they safe from us?
