| | Alan Moore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This badge set caused friction between Moore and DC—the publisher claimed that they were a "promotional item" and not merchandising, and therefore DC did not pay Moore or Gibbons any royalties from the sale of the sets. |
| | Alongside roughly contemporaneous work such as Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Art Spiegelman's Maus and Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez's Love and Rockets, Watchmen was part of a late 1980s trend towards comics with more adult sensibilities. |
| | Moore briefly became a media celebrity, and the resulting attention led to him withdrawing from fandom and no longer attending comics conventions (at one UKCAC in London he is said to have been followed into the toilet by eager autograph hunters). |
