Watchmen, written by Alan Moore with art by Dave Gibbons, was published by DC Comics in 1986-87 as a twelve-issue limited series. It’s widely considered the greatest graphic novel ever created and helped establish comics as a serious literary form.
Set in an alternate history where masked vigilantes are real, Watchmen follows a group of retired heroes investigating the murder of one of their own. The story is a meditation on power, morality, and the superhero concept itself. Time magazine included it on their list of the 100 best English-language novels.
The Watchmen Companion collects supplementary material and behind-the-scenes content from the original series.
