Description:

Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series written by
Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. Originally published
by DC Comics as a monthly limited series from 1986 to 1987, it was
later republished as a trade paperback,[1] which popularized the
"graphic novel" format. To date, Watchmen remains the only graphic
novel to win a Hugo Award, and is also the only graphic novel to
appear on Time Magazine's 2005 list of "the 100 best English-language
novels from 1923 to the present."

Watchmen is set in 1985, in an alternate history United States where
costumed adventurers are real and the country is edging closer to
a nuclear war with the Soviet Union (the Doomsday Clock is at eleven
minutes to midnight). It tells the story of a group of past and present
superheroes and the events surrounding the mysterious murder of one of
their own. Watchmen depicts superheroes as real people who must confront
ethical and personal issues, who struggle with neuroses and failings,
and who with one notable exception lack anything recognizable as super
powers. Watchmen's deconstruction of the conventional superhero archetype,
combined with its innovative adaptation of cinematic techniques and heavy
use of symbolism, multi-layered dialogue, and metafiction, has
influenced both comics and film.
