Watchmen redefined what superhero comics could be, and re-introduced the medium to an adult audience with a gripping, labyrinthine script and ultra-detailed artwork.

Rorschach, a half-psychotic vigilante, must convince his ex team-mates, now middle-aged and retired, that he has uncovered a plot to murder the remaining superheroes — along with millions of innocent civilians... Even reunited, will the remnants of the Watchmen be enough to avert a global apocalypse?

With a powerful, chilling storyline, masterfully told by comics supremo Alan Moore and beautifully rendered artwork by Dave Gibbons, Watchmen — soon to be a smash-hit movie — remains a cornerstone of Western comics.
