This Hugo Award-winning graphic novel chronicles the fall from grace of a group of super-heroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the super-hero is dissected as the heroes are stalked by an unknown assassin. One of the most influential graphic novels of all time and a perennial bestseller, WATCHMEN has been studied on college campuses across the nation and is considered a gateway title, leading readers to other graphic novels such as V FOR VENDETTA, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and THE SANDMAN series.

      In 1985, as the Americans and the Russkies approach nuclear Armageddon, a trio of former masked vigilantes regroup in order to solve the seemingly unrelated murders of other ex-members living anonymously in retirement years after the government outlawed them. What they ultimately discover would avert World War III but still cost millions of lives. This is dark, disturbing stuff that presents heavy moral questions. The hardcover is more durable, but if the price is too steep, there's a more affordable paperback edition ($19.95. ISBN 978-0-9302-8923-2). Whichever you opt for, buy a couple; you'll need them. For all public and academic libraries.
