Theology, Religion, and Watchmen

This edited collection reads Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ graphic novel series Watchmen from a religious and theological perspective.

Touching on the original graphic novel, as well as each of these prequels and sequels, Matthew Brake and David K. Goodin and their contributors explore the religious influence, symbolism, and narratives throughout Watchmen. Though there may not necessarily be a "god" in Watchmen, the essays herein argue that we can see “the strings” of the sacred throughout its various media.
