Description
“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” the Latins asked. Who watches the watchmen? It is difficult to keep an eye on those who hold power, even if they are ordinary people – and what about when they possess abilities we can only dream of? The monumental comic by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, WATCHMEN, one of the most influential graphic novels of all time, follows the fates of two generations of masked superheroes from the end of World War II to the chilling onset of the Cold War. In a world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history, the USA won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president, and the Cold War is in full swing. WATCHMEN begins as a detective story but then unfolds into a tale of conspiracy that drastically affects the fate of the entire planet. And before the climax arrives, an unlikely group of heroes, brought together by fate – Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan, and Ozymandias – will test the limits of their convictions and unwittingly discover where the true dividing line between good and evil lies. In 1984, two comics changed the genre – and fans still argue about which one is more significant. One featured Batman in the lead role, and Frank Miller named it The Dark Knight Returns…
