Many comic fans regard Alan Moore’s 1980s output as a purple patch in the writer’s impressive oeuvre. While still penning the extraordinary V for Vendetta with artwork by David Lloyd and The Saga of the Swamp Thing with Steve Bissette, Moore and Dave Gibbons released the genre-shattering Watchmen in 1985. A decades-spanning deconstruction of superhero mythology, Watchmen is rightly remembered as a contender for the greatest comic of all time. Set in an alternate timeline in which vigilantes are outlawed and Richard Nixon has broken the 22nd Amendment to stay on as president having won the Vietnam War, Watchmen took everything that had come before and spun it into something fresh and magical.
