1) The novel gets its name from the phrase “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” (Who Watches The Watchmen?), which is from one of the Satires (poetry works) of 1st century Roman poet Juvenal (Juvenal’s Satire VI, Against Women c. AD 60 - 127).
2) The story is set in 1985, in an alternate reality where costume heroes exist, and Nixon is still president of the United States of America, which is also close to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union.
