Watchmen

It's hard to know where to begin. Watchmen, requires more than one reading to fully grasp everything thrown at you. Moore is a master at throwing clues to his audience without them even knowing it. Only by going back an reviewing the book over again will you see Moore's trademark subtleties. 

Moore is a skilled artist, he combining fact with fiction to make it all work. Everything Moore has created is believable; from Dr. Manhattan's super-human metamorphosis to a giant alien squid destroying New York. It seems that he must be a master of research, whether it's because he goes out and obtains it or if he has a very broad spectrum of general knowledge. Gathering fact and including it in fiction takes your audiences to places they wouldn't think possible.
