Considering Watchmen: Poetics, Property, Politics (Comics Culture)

In this groundbreaking new study, Andrew Hoberek examines Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's landmark comic book series Watchmen from a variety of angles: as an artistic achievement, as a political statement, and as a self-conscious piece of intellectual property. He not only provides a historical context for appreciating how innovative Watchmen was in the 1980s, but also demonstrates the continued influence it has exerted on both comics and literature as a whole.
