Gerard Way
American Musician
Watchmen' is a politically charged story, and it explores exactly what a hero is, how the world would treat them and how they would react. It was the first time I read a superhero story that explored that situation. These are very real people with very real problems.
Quote examples
Greg Berlanti
American Writer
