The graphic novel that i read was Watchmen, it is written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. The book mainly takes place in New York City. I chose this book on the bases that i would get a thrill out of heroes knocking out villians, but that's not the case. As i was reading the graphic novel i discovered that it's very doleful and sad. On the flip side i was introduced to new characters such as Rorschach. A tall slim built hero wearing a trench coat and a mask. He is pursived to be very threatening also creepy by many villians and heroes. He is the sole hero that still wants to defend the big apple from the trecherous villians and other countries. A down-side to this novel is that their are many characters introduced at the start, which can lead to a turn off because people wont be able to understand or know the characters and their meaning to the plot.
The character that i chose to write a profile on is Moe Vernon, a man who owns an auto-repair shop. I chose him because he had a special story relating to the Night Owl, another superhero fighting in NY. Moe was a hard working mechanic. He worked long hours with his crue fixing cars to earn an honest living and to feed his family. Moe was an old man around 50 years of age. He weighed roughly 230 pounds at the time. He had one of those faces that you would see in the past. A face that is expired. His face was not trend-setting, didn't have the same aspects that kids being born these days had. Moe liked to listens to his music via a present-day record players. He listened all day and all night until they closed. Moe had an unusual craving for useless knick knack's. Every where he went he got a little souvenir and popped it in his drawer. Moe Vernon was an honest man making an honest living.
The three panels that I chose are in Ch. 2 p. 21. They illustrate Rorschach trying to arrest Moloch. I found Rorschach to be very provocative towards Moloch just because Moloch was an ex-criminal magician. What i found interesting is that Rorschach hid inside the fridge waiting some time for Moloch to open it. I think it should have been a scene because their wasn't enough struggle, it was more of a confrontation then an arrest. That's why i think its still not worthy of a true scene. I had a problem with part of the scene because i could understand who said one of the lines because the arrows where not pointed towards the correct character who is speaking. This scene leads into the whole story because Moloch was the villian that pioneered breaking the law. This creates an even bigger disaster for all the superheroes.
