Watchmen, No. 1

The gritty, morally ambiguous universe felt so different from typical superhero stories. I'm curious what influenced Alan Moore to craft such a bleak setting.

The characters' choices often blurred the lines between right and wrong, making me question what true heroism means. How did others interpret their motivations?

The detailed, often shadowy illustrations really amplify the dark mood. I'm wondering if the artistic choices were planned to mirror the narrative’s moral complexity.
