In an alternate world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history, the US won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president, and the Cold War is in full effect. Watchmen begins as a murder-mystery, but soon unfolds into a planet-altering conspiracy. As the resolution comes to ahead, the unlikely group of reunited heroes--Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre,Dr.

Manhattan and Ozymandias - have to test the limits of their convictions and ask themselves where the true line is between good and evil. 

Watchmen is collected here with a new cover, sketches, extra bonusmaterial, and a new introduction by series artist Dave Gibbons.
