Synopsis of Watchmen

Has Any Comic Been As Lauded As Alan Moore And Dave Gibbons' Watchmen? Possibly Only Frank Miller'S The Dark Knight Returns But Watchmen Remains The Critics' Favourite. Why? Because Moore Is A Better Writer, And Watchmen A More Complex And Dark And Literate Creation Than Miller'S Fantastic, Subversive Take On The Batman Myth. Moore, Renowned For Many Other Of The Genre'S Finest Creations (Saga Of The Swamp Thing, V For Vendetta, And Recently From Hell, With Eddie Campbell) First Put Out Watchmen In 12 Issues For Dc In 1986-87. It Won A Comic Award At The Time (The 1987 Jack Kirby Comics Industry Awards For Best Writer/Artist Combination) And Has Continued To Garner Praise Since. There Is A Reason Watchmen Is Lauded As The Best Graphic Novel Ever Produced. From The First Panel, Alan Moore Gives You The Feeling Of The Dark And Gritty That Will Feature Throughout The Book, Giving It The Feel Of A Thriller. Dave Gibbons & Colorist John Higgins Add To The Feel, Giving The Book An Artistic Feel That Nobody Can Ever Replicate. Moore'S Plot Progression And Character Study Is Flawless, As He Makes The Reader Care For Characters Like Rorshach, One Of The Many Heroes Who Features In Watchmen, And Who Is An Example Of Moore'S Flawless Creations. Gibbons Has The Whole Comic Lined With Symbols And Images Which Are Easy To Miss If You'Re Just Flipping Through The Pages, But They Serve As Additional Storytellers. Indeed, Watchmen Contains Four Types Of Storytelling: The Traditional Comic, The Notes At The Back Of Each Chapter, A "Comic Within A Comic" (Beautifully Written By Moore To Match The Scenario Of The Main Storyline) As Well As A Stray Of Symbols In The Form Of Graffiti, Newspaper Headlines And What Not. Watchmen Is Indeed Peerless, And Probably One Of The Greatest Stories Ever Told In Any Format. Moore Set Out To Prove That Comics Are The Only Stories Where The Readers Get The Idea Of The Creator'S High Level Concepts And Imagination, Which Is Affirmed By The Awesomeness Personified That Is Watchmen.
