Overview
Provide an in-depth exploration of the graphic novel Watchmen. You will apply one of the five critical
approaches we discussed (historical, psychological, gender, eco-critical, or Marxist) while emphasizing
the graphic (visual) elements in your evidence. Your essay must be 2000-3000 words, not including the
Works Cited page. Further, you must cite 5-10 credible sources, peer-reviewed scholarly journal
articles or professionally published books and document them using MLA format and the Grossmont
College Library databases.
Audience, Evidence, and Structure
Assume that while your readers have already read Watchmen, they have not read the outside sources you
will be providing to back up your claims.
> Begin each body paragraph with a claim that relates clearly back to your thesis statement. In
other words, do not let your outside sources drive the structure of your essay by simply
summarizing what others have to say. Be sure your thesis statement and claims all clearly reflect
one of the critical approaches.
? Find sources that are credible and appropriate. Refer back to “Researching Credible Sources” for
help on how to navigate the article databases on the Grossmont College Library’s web site.
> Quote, paraphrase, and summarize amply, including chapter and page numbers. In addition, you
need to effectively integrate your 5-10 outside sources. Use standard MLA format to cite these,
and follow the 5-step process laid out for you in “Quoting Sources Using MLA.”
? Incorporate evidence from both the graphic novel and an outside source in each body
paragraph—this includes both quotes and images. When referencing any examples from
Watchmen, cite the chapter, page, and panel number.
Include at least one countering move. This will be highlighted blue.

How to Use both Forwarding & Countering Moves with Outside Sources
Support your own ideas with the prestige of established critics’ names, essentially augmenting
your authority via academic name-dropping.
Disagree with a known critic, challenging his or her ideas. Do not be intimidated by big names:
Your challenge more than likely will be welcome to many readers who share your disagreement.
• Accept a critic’s general statement and apply it specifically—perhaps in ways not originally
intended by the critic.
• Conversely you can accept a critic’s specific statement and apply it generally.
do not need to find critics who write expressly about your topic. In fact,
more original your thinking, the less likely it will be that you will find such specific support.
Instead find critics who develop related ideas.
