Graphic novels: Watchmen by Alan Moore
Watchmen has been called the greatest graphic
novel of all time. It is one of the most influential
graphic novels and a perennial bestseller. WATCHMEN
is also considered a gateway title to the entire graphic
storytelling medium. Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon’s
seminal story is the benchmark against which all other
graphic novels and comic books are judged.
A world of ruthless psychological
realism, it’s a landmark in the graphic
novel medium. – TIME Magazine
A murder mystery-turned-nationwide conspiracy,
WATCHMEN examines the lives of the eponymous
superhero team as they seem to decay alongside the
ever-darkening America around them. Rorschach Nite
Owl, the Silk Spectre, Dr Manhattan and Ozymandias
reunite to investigate who is behind a team mate’s
murder, but find that the truth may be even more grim
than the world they seek to protect.
It is 1985, Nixon is still president, the Cold War is at
absolute zero, and the nation’s superheroes consist of
a bunch of neurotic, washed-up has-beens, mostly
without actual superpowers, mostly retired.
As the novel begins one of them, the Comedian, is
murdered. What follows is an astoundingly dense,
beautiful, sad story that begins as a noir mystery and
ends with the destruction, or possibly the
redemption, of the entire world as we know it. To tell
this story Gibbons and Moore deployed about a
dozen fugually interwoven plots and an intricate
system of echoing visual motifs. The result is a
masterpiece so powerful it caused the entire genre of
superhero comics to immediately rethink its most
sacred conventions.
