The author heralds Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns and Alan Moore's Watchmen as the two books that bring about the end of the Silver Age. What follows is possibly a Dark Age for comics, where creators flounder attempting to find a new approach for comics. Watchmen is especially significant due to its great use of death and other similar imageries of starting from a clean slate. Thus, it can be safe to assume that Watchmen bore the seeds of modern revisionary superhero narrative.
