Watchmen by Alan Moore, was published by DC in 1986-1987. The storyline of this comic is full of sex and violence. Being a continuous reader I find every year someone new found there. Moore and Gibbons attempted to deconstruct costumed heroes in Watchmen. In Watchmen we have a vast tapestry of history, symbols, and details.
Dave Gibbons actually deserves the tribute for making Watchmen. Gibbons Watchmen is mistakenly named as “dark and gritty”. His art is really awesome. Characterization of this comic is very nice and beautiful. The heroes are sketched as real tragic anti-heroes. These heroes are unusual who fight from crime. Many of them are specified selfish and always runs behind fame. The most famous character of Moore is Rorschach, who is confirmed immoral at the end of the story. For me he is the hero in first half of the book.
Watchmen, is a detective novel but the main villain is not so easy to figure out. There are few main problems in my opinion. We have the overflow of comics of better quality after Watchmen. Another chief reason is the Younger readers who are unable to get the baseline of the story. The last trouble is the graphic novel which takes lots of time to read. At the end, for me Watchmen is one of the best comic in the comic book series.
