Abstracts

PL

The article analyses and interprets Watchmen by Moore, Gibbons and Higgins in comparison with its movie adaptation directed by Zack Snyder. The hypothesis is that there is an observed phenomenon metaphorically called “half-life of atomic bomb”, during which the theme of the fear of the A-Bomb is gradually rinsed out of the popular/mass culture. This case study is to be treated as an introduction to further inquiry into the topic based on a wider selection of texts.
