Join the roomWatchmen es una serie limitada de historietas de doce números creada por Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons y John Higgins, publicada por DC Comics en 1986 y 1987. Watchmen se centra en seis personajes principales: the Comedian, Doctor Manhattan, Nite Owl II, Ozymandias, Rorschach y the Silk Spectre II. Estos personajes se basaron originalmente en los Mighty Crusaders y luego se reelaboraron en una propuesta no solicitada para adaptarse a las propiedades de superhéroes que DC había adquirido de Charlton Comics a principios de la década de 1980. Moore basó posteriormente a los predecesores del equipo, los Minutemen, en los Mighty Crusaders. Dado que la editorial planeaba integrar los superhéroes de Charlton en el Universo DC principal y el guion habría hecho que muchos de ellos no fueran utilizables para historias futuras, el guionista de la serie Alan Moore finalmente aceptó crear personajes originales. Moore deseaba que los personajes principales presentaran seis "formas radicalmente opuestas" de percibir el mundo, y dar a los lectores de la historia el privilegio de determinar cuál era la más comprensible moralmente.
