| Quote | - "I suppose I was just thinking, 'That'd be a good way to start a comic book: have a famous super-hero found dead.' As the mystery unraveled, we would be led deeper and deeper into the real heart of this super-hero's world, and show a reality that was very different to the general public image of the super-hero."

Cuenta la historia de un 1985 alternativo, donde el mundo está al borde de una guerra nuclear en la cumbre de la guerra fría. Cinco superhéroes, todos humanos corrientes excepto uno, y que abrigan complejos lazos emocionales y relaciones entre ellos y el mundo que les rodea, vuelven a reunirse tras la muerte de un sexto miembro, lo que revela una estremecedora conspiración que tiene implicaciones para el mundo entero. El cómic salta de página en página con flashbacks de los años 30 hasta los 80, y también con un meta-cómic (un cómic dentro del cómic), Relatos de la Fragata Negra, que refleja la narrativa de las historias y varios personajes del mundo de Watchmen. Es la única novela gráfica que aparece en la Revista Time en la lista de las 100 Novelas de la Historia. Se la considera influencia de los cómics de hoy en día, llevando a los guionistas a historias más realistas y atrevidas. La novela gráfica ha sido convertida en película, estrenada mundialmente en marzo de 2009.

They are a bunch of superheroes led by President Nixon! I didn't even know President Nixon was still president! They say he was elected five times! And I voted for him twelve! I even voted for him after he died. Because you know what they say: Great men don't die, they just...don't live anymore. So, these Watchmen have all sorts of heroes. And one of them is called The Comedian! And he's hilarious! He shoots women and children. And abuses the American dream! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hilarious. And there's another hero called Nite Owl. And he's an awful lot like Batman, only...an owl! "Who are you?" "You mean, who who are you?" Thank you, I'll be here all week. And there's a man called Rorschach. He fights criminals by distracting them with his face! "Tell me what my face looks like!" "Oh, it looks like a butterfly!" (Punches) "Eugh!" And there's a woman dressed entirely in latex. She looks like Xena: Warrior Slut. And there's this atomic guy who looks like he's trying out for the Naked Blue Man Group! I was in the Naked Blue Man Group once! Apparently, I wasn't Jewish enough. Whatever that means. And this blue guy can stop anybody he wants. Because everybody is distracted by his giganto penis! Seriously! Doesn't the guy put on any pants?! My penis is blue too, but you don't see me flaunting it around! Okay, okay, once or twice. Every Tuesday. So, the Watchmen are out to stop the evil Russians! I was a Russian once! Only they said I wasn't Jewish enough. Or maybe that was a brothel. It was a Russian brothel! (Russian accent) I will go down on you for 20 wubles. They're a dime a dozen. So, the Russians are about to unleash the Cold War. And this one superhero is like, "I will stop the Russians from blowing up America." HOORAY! "Because I'm going to blow it up first!" Haroo. So, they're trying to stop the evil superhero from blowing up New York. And the heroes are like, "You can't blow up New York City!" And the villain is like, "It's done." "Crap!" So, it turns out the superheroes aren't really that super. One superhero blows up New York. Another one kills women and children. And the last one just flashes everybody. Superheroes are assholes! You never see Superman going around flashing everybody! Though, his outfit does leave very little to the imagination. I thought superheroes were supposed to save the day! But these heroes are like, "Well, we didn't save the world. Just half of it." "Okay." That's bullcrap! None of this would have happened if Bum Man was here! That's right! There's a Bum Man! He leeches off of Superman, Batman and Santa Clause. And he vomits on evildoers! Na na na na na na na na, Bum Man! In fact, can you keep a secret? (Looks around and whispers) I'm Bum Man. Nobody knows 'cause I'm not wearing my glasses. Or have my traditional theme music. (Puts on glasses as Indiana Jones theme music plays, then quickly takes them off.) You see? The only downside is that now that you know, I'm gonna have to kill you. (His eyes glow red. There's a red flash of light.) Heh heh, no, I'm just kidding! I just made you impotent. Unlike the Naked Blue Man Group. Of Jewish descent. This is Chester A. Bum saying CHANGE?? Ya got change?! Aw c'mon, help a guy out, will ya?! C'mon, change! C'mon, I'll put you in touch with my anchorman! That's the guy who's really more powerful than a locomotive.

- Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. The series was published by DC Comics during 1986 and 1987, and has been subsequently reprinted in collected form. Watchmen originated from a story proposal Moore submitted to DC featuring superhero characters that the company had acquired from Charlton Comics. As Moore's proposed story would have left many of the characters unusable for future stories, managing editor Dick Giordano convinced the writer to create original characters instead. Moore used the story as a means to reflect contemporary anxieties and to critique the superhero concept. Watchmen takes place in an alternate history United States where superheroes emerged in the 1940s and 1960s, helping the United States to win the Vietnam War. The country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, freelance costumed vigilantes have been outlawed and most costumed superheroes are in retirement or working for the government. The story focuses on the personal development and struggles of the protagonists as an investigation into the murder of a government sponsored superhero pulls them out of retirement and eventually leads them to confront a plot to stave off nuclear war by killing millions of people. Creatively, the focus of Watchmen is on its structure. Gibbons used a nine-panel grid layout throughout the series and added recurring symbols such as a blood-stained smiley. All but the last issue feature supplemental fictional documents that add to the series' backstory, and the narrative is intertwined with that of another story, a fictional pirate comic titled Tales of the Black Freighter, which one of the characters reads. Watchmen has received critical acclaim both in the comics and mainstream press, and is regarded by critics as a seminal text of the comic book medium. After a number of attempts to adapt the series into a feature film, director Zack Snyder's Watchmen was released in March 2009.
