Description
This stunning graphic novel chronicles the fall from grace of a group of superheroes plagued by all too human failings. The concept of the superhero is dissected and inverted as strangely realistic characters are stalked by an unknown assassin. Originally published as 12 issue series in 1986 and 1987, Watchmen remains one of DC Comics' most popular graphic novels.
