With all the publicity recently regarding the film adaptation of the book, I felt compelled to see what was going on with Watchmen - is it really as good as they say?

I’ve never read a graphic novel before - unless you count The Beano, The Dandy, Oor Wullie or The Broons - so there were doubts over whether a story could be as well told and involving given this book was obviously going to have to tell it in little speech bubbles and simple drawings.

How wrong I was!
