"A work of ruthless psychological realism, it's a landmark in the graphic novel medium." --TIME Magazine "WATCHMEN is peerless." --Rolling Stone "Remarkable ... the would-be heroes of WATCHMEN have staggeringly complex psychological profiles." --New York Times Book Review "Groundbreaking." --USA Today "A masterwork representing the apex of artistry." --Entertainment Weekly "The greatest piece of popular fiction ever produced." --Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof

Now presented in stark black and white, highlighting Dave Gibbons dark, moody pencils, read the greatest graphic novel of all time in a whole new way! In an alternate world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history, the US won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president, and the Cold War is in full effect.  WATCHMEN begins as a murder-mystery, but soon unfolds into a planet-altering conspiracy. As the resolution comes to a head, the unlikely group of reunited heroes--Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias--have to test the limits of their convictions and ask themselves where the true line is between good and evil.  In the mid-eighties, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons created WATCHMEN, changing the course of comics' history and essentially remaking how popular culture perceived the genre. Popularly cited as the point where comics came of age, WATCHMEN's sophisticated take on superheroes has been universally acclaimed for its psychological depth and realism.
