Alan Moore took comics to a new level when his acclaimed Watchmen series exploded onto the scene in the mid '80s. It's this series that spawned the concept of the graphic novel, comics as a serious literary & artistic medium rather than a childhood novelty. Its effect can be seen in the homes of today, with progressively older adults tuning their TV into animations that focus on increasingly adult themes. This book went on to be the basis for the 2009 feature film.
In 2008, an extremely faithful 'motion comic' was released. Though transitions from one scene to another often feel rushed, it is nonetheless entertaining viewing.
For us, the character of Dr Manhattan is so resonant. Who resonates with you?
