Description

Watchmen is one of the most critically-acclaimed graphic novels of all time (possibly surpassed only by Maus), in addition to being one of the best-selling. The twelve-issue series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, originally published in 1986-1987 and released as a film in 2009, famously went on to become the only comic book included on Time Magazine's list of the 100 greatest novels since 1923. Despite such levels of popular and critical success, and a number of published biographies and assessments of its author, up till now nobody has published a comprehensive analysis of Watchmen itself. Performer/writer/artist Jeffrey Lewis has been writing and lecturing on Watchmen since 1997, giving popular talks on the subject in America, Europe, England and Australia; now he collects this work into one digestible, enlightening and entertaining volume. Pop-analysis of pop-culture has often covered record albums (as in the 33 1/3 book series and others) and film (as in the Deep Focus series, various books on The Matrix and others), but there has never been an analysis of a comic book like this... because there has never been a comic book like Watchmen. Both in its deconstruction of the superhero genre and its reconstruction of the comic book medium, Watchmen remains a uniquely compelling late-twentieth-century cultural landmark, and, selling strongly for thirty years, it is long overdue for published treatment that goes deeper than mere praise or condemnation. Revelations in the Wink of an Eye is a fan-letter that carefully justifies itself; a close look at the hidden themes and symbolic interplay that combine to make Watchmen tick. Jeffrey Lewis has written for The History Channel, The New York Times, The Guardian (UK) and other notable institutions (and was awarded a Webby for Best Writing on the Internet in 2010), in addition to doing writing/illustration/comic book work for projects published by Verso, Hill and Wang, For Beginners and others. Featured a number of times on NPR, Jeffrey has released seven albums on England's venerable Rough Trade Records label. This is his first book of critical analysis.
