Few comic books can claim to be Literature
This is an excellent book, I encourage you to buy it today!Most comic books are shallow, ridiculous stories with flat, uninteresting characters. The issues are painted in black and white and one side is explicitly presented as the side of absolute Good. The Watchmen is different. The story is multifaceted and the characters are much more complicated than they first appear (In fact, I also recommend that you read the book at least twice!). There is no faction in the Watchmen that can claim a monopoly on "Truth, Justice, and the American Way," and no assumption that this is desirable or even possible. Without qualification, this is the best book I have read for pleasure in a very long time.
