I read Watchmen for the third time, a couple of weeks ago. I think it may be the first novel I've ever read thrice. First time was in the late 80's; must have been shortly after it came out. Someone loaned me "The Dark Knight Returns" and "Watchmen". Blown away, by both, but I haven't re-read DKR. Maybe I should. Re-read Watchmen just before the movie came out. The movie is worth seeing, but only after you've read it, if possible. It was a joy to read, each time. Just a wonderful piece of work.

Theodore Sturgeon said something like "good science fiction is good fiction". A good graphic novel is a good novel.
