Watchmen #1, the first issue of the groundbreaking graphic novel series by DC Comics, introduces a dark, alternative history where superheroes have been banned and society teeters on the brink of nuclear conflict. The iconic cover features a blood-splattered smiley face, which has become a symbol of the series, representing the graphic novel's themes of moral ambiguity and societal decay. This issue sets up the complex narrative that deconstructs the superhero genre, focusing on a group of former masked vigilantes caught in a web of conspiracy and personal trauma.
