Because We are Compelled:
How Watchmen Interrogates the Comics Tradition
In this short consideration of Watchmen, Dr. Julian Darius considers this seminal work in context, helping readers place Watchmen within the comics tradition. It’s the perfect introduction to the work for students and readers new and old.
Also included is Darius’s celebrated “58 Varieties: Watchmen and Revisionism,” which contextualizes Watchmen within the project of superhero revisionism. In World Literature Today, Rob Vollmar wrote, “Julian Darius’s ‘58 Varieties: Watchmen and Revisionism’ is a loving psychedelic romp… that uses a deconstructionist’s lens to dissect and reassemble every aspect of the story.”
