Watchmen (2019 Edition)

HUGO AWARD WINNER | A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Experience the groundbreaking masterpiece that forever changed the landscape of modern storytelling!

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. This is the definitive paperback edition of the legendary work by comics icons Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons that deconstructed the infallible superhero archetype.

It’s the 1980s—the United States emerged victorious in the Vietnam War, Richard Nixon remains in office, and the Cold War rages on. Superheroes have been outlawed, forcing a scattered team of former icons—Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan, and Ozymandias—out of retirement.

When an unknown assassin begins stalking these fallen heroes, they uncover a plot to upend the fragile geo-political balance and spread calamity across the globe. Plagued by all-too-human failings, they must decide if the world is even worth saving.

This paperback edition of Watchmen collects all 12 issues of the original limited series. An absolute must-have for every library and the perfect entry point for fans of the HBO series and DC Universe!
