Watchmen / Alan Moore


1950's America is on the verge of nuclear war with Russia. Times are tense, and the gutters are filled with poverty, prostitution and desperate people. The Comedian is dead.
One of the first comics I've ever read and  all I have to say is READ IT. Dark humour mixed in with mature themes, this piece of literary gold is quite a challenging read. Conspiracies, murder, a psychotic hero who believes in nothing and the biggest gag that has ever been pulled on the world, this is an exhilarating, compelling and moral-violating book which I found completely unforgettable.

Who would enjoy this book? Sci-fi lovers, mature readers, people who read Neil Gaiman and anyone who wants a taste of the dark side.
