‘The Watchmen’ is simply one of
the best graphic novels ever written. It’s serious, cynical and dark tone has
influenced comic writers ever since its publication in 1987. Set in an
alternative universe 1985 where Nixon is still president, superheros have been
outlawed, and the one true superhero with godlike abilites, Dr Manhattan, works
for the US. When retired superheros start being murdered, a vast conspiracy
with far-reaching implications starts to be unravelled, and old friends are
forced to work with on another once again. The tension of the Cold War can be
felt in this story, and Dave Gibbons illustrates intricately detailed panels. A
story that will stay with you far after you’ve put it down.
