#1,264 "Watchmen" by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons
from Just In Case We Die
Send us Fan MailWatchmen is, without question, the most unique book to be up for discussion on Just In Case We Die. Of all the tomes to ever appear on the curated list, Watchmen is the only comic book. Originally released as twelve individual issues, the final collected volume premiered at the end of 1987 and has subsequently become one of the most consistently-reprinted graphic novels of all time. It also managed to win the Hugo award and find a spot on Time Magazine‘s list of 100 Best Novels as one of the most influential English-language books since 1923. Not bad for a comic book, eh?Well, not every comic book is superhero nonsense intended for children. Knowing this, Rodney hand-selected this influential work for discussion this month.

Have Aaron and Rodney gotten her to climb aboard the comic book train?
