In this groundbreaking new study, Andrew Hoberek examines Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's landmark comic book seriesWatchmen from a variety of angles: as an artistic achievement, as a political statement, and as a self-conscious piece of intellectual property. He not only provides a historical context for appreciating how innovativeWatchmen was in the 1980s, but also demonstrates the continued influence it has exerted on both comics and literature as a whole.
