I think it's worth the being on the list but I'd put John Irving on as well Bosco

Makes me wonder anew as to the age demographic of those on the selection committee... ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : [scifinoir2] Watchmen: On Time Magazine Top 100 Novels List Date : Sat, 21 Mar 2009 18:04:42 -0000 >From : "ravenadal" <ravena...@yahoo. com> To : scifino...@yahoogro ups.com http://www.time. com/time/ 2005/100books/ 0,24459,watchmen ,00.html Watchmen (1986) Author: Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons Watchmen is a graphic novela book-length comic book with ambitions above its stationstarring a ragbag of bizarre, damaged, retired superheroes: the paunchy, melancholic Nite Owl; the raving doomsayer Rorschach; the blue, glowing, near-omnipotent, no-longer-human Doctor Manhattan. Though their heyday is past, these former crime-fighters are drawn back into action by the murder of a former teammate, The Comedian, which turns out to be the leading edge of a much wider, more disturbing conspiracy. Told with ruthless psychological realism, in fugal, overlapping plotlines and gorgeous, cinematic panels rich with repeating motifs, Watchmen is a heart-pounding, heartbreaking read and a watershed in the evolution of a young medium.L.G. http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=JQdwk8Yntds
