So much has been said about Watchmen. Some call it the “Citizen Kane” of graphic novels. Others say the book is responsible for changing the face of modern comic books.
To date, Watchmen remains the only graphic novel to win a Hugo Award, and is also the only graphic novel to appear on Time Magazine’s 2005 list of “the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.”
Here is a list of some online analyses, essays, critiques, commentaries and reviews we have found on the Web. If there is a particular article or item that you think we need to include, feel free to send us the link.
