The plot of watchmen

Watchmen is a great graphic novel to read that is deep. The Watchmen is written to tagert adults about a superhero story. The Watchmen takes place in a world where superheroes exist, but none have super powers. The onl one who does is called 'Doctor Manhatten' (the blue guy), who was a scientist who was in an accident which gave him god like powers.

Most of the superheroes are gone in the novel, since the government banned them. The story begins with an old hero, named the Comedienne, being murdered. Another character named Rorshach (who's a bit on the insane side) thinks that there's a conspiracy behind his death, and begins investigating, first by going around and talking to all the old heroes.

The story takes off from there.The importance of the story has to do with that it was written and is set in the 1980s. From the 50s to the 80s, people all over the world were constantly afraid that the Soviet Union and the United States could start a nuclear war with each other at any moment and kill billions of people. This plays in majorly with the setting of the story.
