3 A world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history.

Watchmen—now a hit HBO original series— is a groundbreaking graphic novel from award-winning author Alan Moore.

In an alternate world, the U.S. 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, an 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.

Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons created Watchmen and changed the course of comics history, essentially remaking how popular culture perceived the medium.

“A work of ruthless psychological realism, it’s a landmark in the graphic novel medium.” –Time Magazine

“Groundbreaking.” –USA Today
