Our favourite facebook post 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.
