Dave Gibbons Knihy

„Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?“ ptali se už latiníci. Kdo střeží ty, kdož střeží nás? Dohlížet na mocné, i když jsou to normální lidé, je obtížné, a co teprve, když mají nadpřirozené schopnosti. Monumentální komiks Alana Moora a Dava Gibbonse sleduje osudy dvou generací maskovaných superhrdinů od konce druhé světové války až po mrazivý nástup studené války. V alternativním světě, kde přítomnost amerických superhrdinů změnila historii, USA vyhrály válku ve Vietnamu, Nixon zůstává prezidentem a studená válka je v plném proudu. Příběh začíná jako detektivka, ale rozvine se v konspiraci, která zásadně ovlivní osud planety. Skupina hrdinů – Rorschach, Sůva, Hedvábný přízrak, Dr. Manhattan a Ozymandias – se znovu sejde a prověří své přesvědčení, přičemž zjistí, kde leží skutečná hranice mezi dobrem a zlem. V roce 1984 vyšly dva komiksy, které zásadně změnily žánr. Zatímco Frank Miller představil Batmana v Návratu temného rytíře, Alan Moore se soustředil na obyčejné lidi s neobyčejnými schopnostmi. Oba komiksy přinášejí nový pohled na superhrdiny, ničí mýty a balancují na pokraji apokalypsy. Moore však představuje postavy s lidskými nedostatky a temnými tajemstvími, což vytváří komplexní a mocný příběh. Tento komiks je považován za jeden z nejzásadnějších v historii.
