Watchmen

    (DC, 1986-1987)
™ and ©1987 DC Comics, Inc.

Someone—or something—is stalking costumed crime-fighters. “The Crimebusters” have long been out of action, having been outlawed by the Anti-Vigilante Act. We meet them now in the twilight of their lives, when a closer look at them also shows that these once-honored heroes were not so heroic at all. In fact, in many cases, they’re borderline psychotics, if not outright insane. And now someone is picking them off, one by one…

This classic twelve-issue maxi-series by writer Alan Moore explores both the darkest and the best in human nature. It had a maturity and insightfulness rarely seen in comicdom. Watchmen will change forever the way you think of super-heroes.
