In an alternate America, a murder mystery evolves into an ominous, planet-wide conspiracy in a world where superheroes shifted the course of history as we know it

It s the 1980s The United States has emerged victorious in the Vietnam War, Richard Nixon remains in office, and the Cold War rages on. Superheroes have been outlawed, with some going into retirement, some becoming government agents, and still others turning to vigilantism.
And an unknown assassin is stalking a group of heroes who ve fallen from grace, plagued by all-too-human failings. After this scattered team Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan, and Ozymandias comes together to mourn a friend, they discover that the murder is part of a larger plot to upend the fragile geo-political balance and spread calamity across the world.
All 12 issues from the original limited series run are collected here in a deluxe hardcover format, with high-quality, glossy paper. 32 bonus pages are included, including sketches and a new introduction by series artist Dave Gibbons.
