Fighting Evil, Quoting Nietzsche -- An interesting article keyed to the anniversary of Alan Moore's Watchmen graphic novel. It's an impressive piece of work for someone who (like me) thinks of comics as primarily repetitive, infantile, and intellectually barren. For me it served as the "gateway comic" into Neil Gaiman's Sandman series and a handful of other graphic novels. Sandman is better art, but the Watchmen deserves credit for popularizing the adult graphic novel.
