Watchmen Comic Book

Watchmen is a limited comic book series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. Watchmen was originally published by DC Comics as single issues in 1986 and 1987. Today, Watchmen is reprinted in collected form, also popularizing the graphic novel format.

In Watchmen, Moore's original characters are used to explore contemporary anxieties, such as nuclear war, and the destruction of the superhero concept. The comic is set in an alternate history United States in the 1980s.

Watchmen has received critical acclaim from both the comic world and the mainstream press. It is considered one of the most important works in the comic book medium, setting the stage for many later comics. To date, Watchmen is the only comic book to win the prestigious Hugo Award.
