Watchmen
The only comic book/graphic novel to win a Hugo Award. Moreover, it is one the better constructed comic book articles. I have invested a lot of time in this article, citing sources and trying to weed out weak prose. I think the structure is quite good overall, but that it is difficult to find sources for everything. With more information, and a greater number of citiations, I believe that this article could become a featured article given time some time (and some T.L.C!). Adasta 20:00, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree totally that Maus is more than deserving of recognition with a featured article. However, I have over the years come to see that Art Spiegelman, along with Harvey Pekar and Joe Sacco, are not considered to be by many people comic artists so much as regular writers. I personally think that the book deserves consideration, but possibly more from the "literature" group than here. Watchmen however helped to usher in the "grim and gritty" age and close the previous "age" of comics, both of which could be significantly addressed in an article, is a work of significant impact, and is also as mentioned a magnificent work in its own right.Badbilltucker 13:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I would like to throw in my vote too, as I currently have this as a featured article candidate, and would like all the help I can to make sure it goes through. --DCAnderson 16:39, 30 May 2006 (UTC) Allready featured, retracting my vote.--DCAnderson 14:26, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll throw in my nomination, but this nom might not be needed as I think the article is going to make to FA status. All members of Wikiproject who can, may want to help out with some final copyedits and whatnot though. Other than that, the support outnumbers 1 oppose, whose concerns were met by the way. Some folks might want to vote one way or the other so that we can know where Watchmen stands. Tombseye 21:16, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
