The Comedian is dead. In a world where costumed vigilantes have been outlawed and former superheroes are either retired or working for the government, the murder of his former teammate leads the outlaw Rorschach to investigate. What he finds could change the world...
I've intentionally kept my plot summary, and my thoughts on the characters, to the bare bones, by the way. The story, if you don't already know it, deserves to be discovered for itself as much as possible. Highest possible recommendation, truly incredible.
Another classic graphic novel is the Holocaust tale [[Maus by Art Spiegelman]], while a more modern look at war is the wonderful [[Pride of Baghdad by Brian K Vaughan]]. We've also seen [[A1 Annual by Dave Elliott (editor)]].
