Book Overview

HUGO AWARD WINNER A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In an alternate America, a murder mystery evolves into an ominous, planet-wide conspiracy in a world where superheroes shifted the course of history as we know it

The paperback edition of the groundbreaking masterpiece from comics legends Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons that took apart the infallible superhero archetype, forever changing graphic storytelling

It's the 1980s--The United States has emerged victorious in the Vietnam War, Richard Nixon remains in office, and the Cold War rages on. Superheroes have been outlawed, with some going into retirement, some becoming government agents, and still others turning to vigilantism.

And an unknown assassin is stalking a group of heroes who've fallen from grace, plagued by all-too-human failings. After this scattered team--Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan, and Ozymandias--comes together to mourn a friend, they discover that the murder is part of a larger plot to upend the fragile geo-political balance and spread calamity across the world.

This paperback edition of Watchmen contains all 12 of the issues from the original limited series run.
