Considering Watchmen: Poetics, Property, Politics - New Edition With Full Color Illustrations

Informationen zum Autor Hoberek, Andrew 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. Zusammenfassung Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's Watchmen has been widely hailed as a landmark in the development of the graphic novel. Demonstrating a keen eye for historical detail! Considering Watchmen gives readers a new appreciation of just how radical Moore and Gibbons's blend of gritty realism and formal experimentation was back in 1986.
