Who will oversee the Guardians?

It's a book that changed the industry and challenged what comics could achieve.
If you've never tried a graphic novel, Guardians is a great place to start

The story of "Guardian" is built on an alternate history. Because of the emergence of a group of masked heroes, American history was changed. Many major historical events that occurred in reality have changed due to the existence of this group of heroes: such as the assassination of US President Kennedy and the victory in the Vietnam War. Due to the intervention of the godlike Dr. Manhattan in the Vietnam War, the United States won an overwhelming victory, and Nixon was re-elected as the President of the United States. Under this historical development, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union became more tense, and the nuclear war threatened the end of the world.

Due to ordinary people's fear of heroes, mass demonstrations and riots questioned "Who will oversee the Guardians?"
Forced the government to legislate in 1977 to ban masked hero activities, or bring them into the government system for management.

"The Guardian" begins with a murder, but quickly evolves into a huge conspiracy capable of destroying the world.

With the approach of the black hand behind the scenes, the masked heroes of the past: face-changing Rorschach, Night Owl, Lingsi, Dr. Manhattan, Pharaoh and others were involved in the assassination plan against the heroes one by one.

In the process of pursuing the truth of the case, these heroes must face their own weaknesses, emotional contradictions, and human flaws, and dialectically and reflect on the limits of values ​​​​such as fairness, morality, and justice, and what is their true belief?

With these thoughts on philosophical issues and analysis of human nature, "Guardian" subverted the established impression that comics were just entertainment for teenagers after its publication, and was sublimated to a masterpiece of literary classics!
