Graphic Tome: The Watchmen

Watchmen Watchmen by Alan Moore


My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
If James Ellroy ever linked his dark, nihilistic prose to pictures, Watchmen may well be the birthed hybrid. A deconstruction of the Superhero mythos, a dark noirish murder mystery, a meditation on Time and Life, a Global Conspiracy shot through with Cold War paranoia (the only aspect of the book that has dated somewhat), Watchmen is quite simply put....Magnificent. Read it. Again and Again.
