Why is Watchmen considered the greatest graphic novel ever written?
Because it's the only graphic novel to win a Hugo Award and the one Time named among its 100 Best Novels of the 20th century — period, not "best comics." This DC Compact Comics Edition puts Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' landmark work in a portable trade format.

The Story
In an alternate 1985 where costumed vigilantes are real and outlawed, the murder of a government-sanctioned hero draws his former partners back into a conspiracy that questions who really watches the watchmen. Nixon is still president, the Cold War is one step from nuclear war, and nobody in this story is purely a hero.
Why Collectors Want This One
Watchmen deconstructed the superhero genre so thoroughly that most "grim and gritty" comics since owe it a direct debt. It's the standard answer to "what's the best comic ever made," and remains one of the top-selling backlist graphic novels every single month.
Do I need superhero comics knowledge to read this?
No — it's a complete, self-contained 12-issue story that works as an entry point to the medium.
