WATCHMEN is an american graphic novel issued in late 80's, written by Alan Moore and graphic was drawn by Dave Gibbons.

WATCHMEN story is based on the age of the 37th US president Richard Nixon, especially on Cold War.

WATCHMEN is american citizen heroes who got super power. Each character is drawn as metaphor of humanity in the story.

This novel is not a typical comic story of american super hero, but it tells essential theme of human being.

I was impressed with recent Zack Snyder's directed film "WATCHMEN". Though his movie seemd to be criticized by some film commentators, I think he surprisingly succeeded in filmimg details of graphic novel.
