    Watchmen is kinda like the Mona Lisa. Is it the most incredible painting ever by today’s standards? Not at all, but during its time, it was incredible, influencing artists for centuries to come.

    Watchmen elevated comic books from telling stories about boy scout aliens from Krypton to graphic novels about deeper, darker, bigger issues.

    If you’re looking to get into graphic novels with a more literary bent, you’ll want to explore the indie scene, I think. I would recommend trying Maus or Persepolis to see if they are more what you’re looking for.
