Watchmen Comics: Dispelling the Overman

It is not a rip off of any virtuous and flawless superhero stories we have been used to reading. It is dark, grim, pulp and deviant in every way.  Watchmen comics, the 12-series book created by Dave Gibbons and Alan Moore, is not your usual graphic novel.

Welcome to the biggest party of your life!

Think of the best
party night you’ve ever been to. Yes, that one. Good wasn’t it? You’ve had some
good nights since but nothing has ever really compared, has it? Until now?

Marriage: we love it. But not, perhaps for the reasons
you’re thinking of. Yes, it’s your chance to grow old and ever so slightly
wrinkly with the person of your dreams. It’s dinner parties, 2.4 children, and,
much later in life, grand prix races on your personalised stairlifts. But that’s
all for later. Right now, whilst you’re on the brink of marriage-dom, it’s time
to start thinking about parties. Your party. And you’d better make it a good
one?
