Considering Watchmen - Poetics, Property, Politics

Informationen zum Autor Andrew Hoberek is an associate professor of English at the University of Missouri. Klappentext 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.
