A New York Times best-seller!
In an alternate world where the mere presence of American superheroes
changed history, the US won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president,
and the cold war is in full effect!
Watchmen begins as a murder-mystery, but soon unfolds into a
planet-altering conspiracy. As the resolution comes to a head, the
unlikely group of reunited heroes--Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre,
Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias--have to test the limits of their
convictions and ask themselves where the true line is between good and
evil.
In the mid-eighties, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons created Watchmen,
changing the course of comics' history and essentially remaking how
popular culture perceived the genre. Popularly cited as the point where
comics came of age, Watchmen's sophisticated take on superheroes has
been universally acclaimed for its psychological depth and realism.
Watchmen is collected here in deluxe hardcover, with sketches, extra
bonus material and a new introduction by series artist Dave Gibbons.
