Watchmen is a highly acclaimed graphic novel series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. It was originally published as a 12-issue limited series by DC Comics from 1986 to 1987 and later collected into a single volume. The series is set in an alternate history where superheroes exist and follows a group of retired vigilantes who come out of retirement to investigate the murder of one of their own. The story explores themes of power, morality, and the role of superheroes in society. What sets Watchmen apart from other superhero comics is its deconstruction and subversion of traditional superhero tropes. Instead of the usual black and white morality, the characters in Watchmen are shades of gray, with complex motivations and flaws.
