Fwiw, the Watchmen is the source of much of the subversion that we’ve gotten used to now. At the time, there had never been anything that went so deep into the essence of hero comics and dug up the reasons why they existed, then turned them upside down before destroying them.
I always wish that people that came into comics after that era could have a chance to experience not just the Watchmen with naive eyes, but all the other stuff like vertigo, milestone, and image that really broke the idea that comics had to be geared to kids and/or only simple subjects. It really was a time where everything got torn apart and rebuilt.
Fair enough, for surr.
