Description

Alan Moore’s Watchmen is ready in 1985 and chronicles the other history of the USA where the United States edges dangerously closer to nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Within this world exists a group of crime busters, who don elaborate costumes to hide their identity and fight crime, and an intricate plot to kill and discredit these “superheroes.”

Alan Moore’s Watchmen popularized the graphic novel format, has been named certainly one of Time magazine’s most sensible 100 novels, and is now being made into a highly anticipated movie adaptation. This up to date book in the preferred Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture series peers into Moore’s deeply philosophical work to parse and deconstruct the moral issues raised by Watchmen’s costumed adventurers, their actions, and their world. From nuclear destruction to utopia, from governmental authority to human morality and social responsibility, it answers questions fans have had for years about Watchmen’s ethical quandaries, themes, and characters.
