Watchmen

by Dave Gibbons, John Higgins, Alan Moore

Watchmen - Thryft
Watchmen - Thryft

Superheroes deconstructed in a gritty, realistic world.

If you enjoy the blend of intricate storytelling with a realistic edge, "Watchmen" could be a compelling read for you. Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons skillfully unravel the mythology of superheroes, presenting them with all too human flaws. This isn't your typical capes-and-tights tale; it's a dark, thought-provoking journey that grapples with morality and the very nature of heroism.

Description

This Hugo Award-winning graphic novel chronicles the fall from grace of a group of super-heroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the super-hero is dissected as the heroes are stalked by an unknown assassin. One of the most influential graphic novels of all time and a perennial best-seller, Watchmen has been studied on college campuses across the nation and is considered a gateway title, leading readers to other graphic novels such as V for Vendetta, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and The Sandman series.
