Alan Moore. Moore used the story as a means to reflect contemporary anxieties and to deconstruct and parody the superhero concept. Watchmen depicts an alternate history where superheroes emerged in the 1940s and 1960s, helping the United States to win the Vietnam War. In 1985, the country is edging toward nuclear war with the Soviet Union, freelance costumed vigilantes have been outlawed and most former superheroes are in retirement or working for the government. The story focuses on the personal development and moral struggles of the protagonists as an investigation into the murder of a government sponsored superhero pulls them out of retirement.
Creatively, the focus of Watchmen is on its structure. Gibbons used a nine-panel grid layout throughout the series and added recurring symbols such as a blood-stained smiley face.

(issue 33): final issue. Bill Willingham, Matthew Sturges. Publication[edit] Jack of Fables was the first project that Sturges worked upon in the comic book industry. Bond and Willingham originally chose him to act as a second voice in deciding for the upcoming new series.[2] Sturges remarked that in writing Jack of Fables, he would increasingly put the character Jack in more and more dilemma. He did this because he and the team found it amusing to harm him in every story.[6] Others who worked on the main Fables series also worked on the spin-off, including long-time Fables inker Steve Leiahloha as penciller and inker in two issues.[4] Artists Tony Akins, Andrey Pepoy, Todd Klein, Russell Braun, Andrew Robinson and Brian Bolland also worked on the series as well.
Todd Klein in particular, was chosen to add humor in the story, and Sturges praised him for his work while also not making it too "cartoony". Ed Brubaker & Sean Phillips. The Fade Out.
