Illustration has always been merged as part of human history. Particularly before the influx of media such as photography, film, television and now even now the internet itself.

The comic book, Watchmen, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons is filled with numerous aspects of deconstruction from each character to the overall story to the layout of comic.

These traits are either over emphasized or deemphasized by Moore to break the mold of the traditional superhero. Superheroes are either born into the role, such as Superman, or a tragedy occurs in their lives that make them become a superhero like Batman.…
Although there are differences from one person to the next about who they think is a hero. There is always a basic concept behind it, heroism is selflessness and braveness. Sometimes people base heroism on what is seen in comic books or their favorite action movie, but heroes can be everyday people, ordinary citizens who put their life at risk for nothing except for the sake of helping others. Heroism is not just who you are, it's the choices you make. Hero’s don't always have to be recognized.…
