What to Read After Watchmen
Introduction

At post-secondary institutions throughout North America, comics and graphic novels are receiving recognition in the classroom from educators unafraid of tackling new mediums. Alan Moore's Watchmen  is a common starting place for many readers new to comics and graphic novels, as well as being a favorite addition to course reading lists.

This website endeavors to compile other comics and resources for the student, staff, or educator who enjoyed Watchmen and seeks to pursue the medium further. Many of the works selected have similar themes and a comparably mature intended audience.
