| JURN group test: “Alan Moore” Watchmen<\/em><\/strong> \nMay 2014. Searching for free full-text<\/strong> scholarly articles, theses or book chapters in English, with primary discussion of the famous and seminal graphic novel Watchmen<\/em> by Alan Moore. Not counting film criticism of the movie version, or book reviews.

As you’d expect, a mess of commercial book listings pages and the occasional pop-cult interview with Moore. The addition of filetype:pdf helped — giving a scattering of student dissertations; the 1st (but not 2nd) edition of the Annotated Watchmen<\/em> document; and a short undergraduate attempt at a bibliography of scholarly works on Watchmen<\/em>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | Microsoft Academic<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n | 1<\/strong><\/td>\n | One of four results.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | CORE<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n | 2<\/strong><\/td>\n | Filtered search by English language.
