"This is a smart, authoritative, and nuanced book, operating at a highly sophisticated level while still remaining accessible to a wide range of readers--a true knockout punch."
--Jared Gardner "author of Projections: Comics and the History of 21st-century Storytelling ""Assiduously researched and carefully written...Considering Watchmen should be regarded as essential reading for any critic interested in the evolution of late twentieth-century print fiction."
--Modern Language Studies"Hoberek offers a scholarly approach to Alan Moore and David Gibson's Watchmen as a graphic novel, looking at elements most are aware of on an almost subconscious level. The author focuses on how Watchmen reached iconic status and on how it can be used as a touchstone for applying techniques from cultural studies, art studies, and literary studies to the emergent genre of the graphic novel. Overall, Hoberek does an outstanding job of injecting these fields, in addition to economics and history, into this slim overview of Watchmen. Detailed endnotes and a useful bibliography are the icing on the cake. Recommended."
