Watchmen zählt zu den bedeutendsten Werken in der Comickunst und hat alle Comicschaffenden nachhaltig beeinflusst. Schöpfer Alan Moore heimste mit dem Epos sämtliche Preise der Comicbranche ein und erlangte als Autor absoluten Kultstatus. Nach langem Tauziehen um die Rechte wird Watchmen nun 2009 unter der Regie von Zack Snyder, der bereits Frank Millers 300 zu einem unvergesslichen, cineastischen Ereignis werden ließ, in den Kinos starten.
The observation of human daily lives spectated through the eyes of an empath. The thoughts, emotions and conditions that reflects the many impressions of the masses, as well as the one individual.
The second addictive adventure in Tim O'Rourke's acclaimed Sammy Carter seriesIt's been a year since Samantha Carter blasted back to 1888, barely escaping with her life. Now, returned to present-day London with only her nymphomaniac flatmate for company, she's starting to believe that everything - the blood-curdling vampires, her strange and sudden skills with a gun, even her mysterious lover Harry - was nothing but a dream.Just when Sammy is about to lose all hope that her friends and memories were real, it finally happens again. This time she's pulled back to a city she does not recognise: a London in the grip of a terrible plague, where death haunts the night and a deeper, darker threat lurks underground, waiting for its chance . . .Fighting side by side with her friends once again, Sammy encounters horrors beyond her imagining; yet what really terrifies her are the endless questions, one most of all: who is she really? Torn between the life she longs for and the life she can believe in, Sammy must decide whether she's brave enough to risk everything, even her heart . . .300,000 books sold4000 five star reviewsDiscover an underground phenomenonDiscover Tim O'Rourke'A definite 4 stars.

Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’s Watchmen has been widely hailed as a landmark in the development of the graphic novel. It was not only aesthetically groundbreaking but also anticipated future developments in politics, literature, and intellectual property.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. The book also considers Watchmen’s place in the history of the comics industry, reading the graphic novel’s playful critique of superhero marketing alongside Alan Moore’s public statements about the rights to the franchise. Andrew Hoberek examines how Moore and Gibbons engaged with the emerging discourses of neoconservatism and neoliberal capitalism, ideologies that have only become more prominent in subsequent years.Watchmen’s influences on the superhero comic and graphic novel are undeniable, but Hoberek reveals how it has also had profound effects on literature as a whole. He suggests that Watchmen not only proved that superhero comics could rise to the status of literature - it also helped to inspire a generation of writers who are redefining the boundaries of the literary, from Jonathan Lethem to Junot Díaz. Hoberek delivers insight and analysis worthy of satisfying serious readers of the genre while shedding new light on Watchmen as both an artistic accomplishment and a book of ideas.
