Recommended: Analysis of character analysis in Watchmen

The Watchmen graphic novel is a very entertaining and interesting book about masked vigilantes fighting against crime. In this comic not all masked heroes are good, which is one of the reasons why I took a lot of interest in this comic. Mouse was a very different graphic novel that takes you back to the early 1930’s and mid 1940’s. This is a well written book about a man’s life and his dad’s story during the Holocaust.

No one in their right mind would do this kind of thing, and I can’t come up with reasons why Hitler would do such things. Whereas, in Watchmen I understand the logic behind their actions. This just makes me think of human nature. There are people who are crazy but can see outside the box; then there’s the people who are crazy and cannot see outside the
