"Watchmen" is named one of the best 100 novels by Time! It comprises 12 separate comic books and tells the story of a group of superheroes called the Watchmen. Published in 1987 during the height of the Cold War, much fear existed around war. Definitely a product of its time, it shows what people will go to in order to achieve the "greater good" and the lengths people will go to in order to preserve peace.
None of the Watchmen (except for one) actually has superpowers. Instead, it follows deeply flawed individuals who don masks and try to fight crime.
But if they are so imperfect and obviously human, who will watch the Watchmen?
My first ever comic book read and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Would recommend!
Let me know what you think:)
