Biographical note
Will Brooker is Professor of Film and Cultural Studies at Kingston University, UK. He is the author of many books on popular culture, cultural icons, cultural history and audiences, including Batman Unmasked, Using the Force, Aliceâs Adventures, The Audience Studies Reader, The Blade Runner Experience, Hunting the Dark Knight, Forever Stardust, Why Bowie Matters, and the BFI Film Classics volume on Star Wars.Although there has certainly been a great deal of critical ink spilled fawning over <i>Watchmen</i> over the years, Brooker broadens our understanding of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbonsâ landmark series by examining the network of texts that contribute to the Watchmen matrix, revealing new insights, inspirations and intertexts that expose the beating heart that pumps through the veins and capillaries of one of the most feted and celebrated texts of Western popular culture. It is, quite simply, the best book Iâve encountered on the topic.
