Watchmen is famous for its twist ending, but the issue that serves as a precursor to The Authority may have it beat, depicting team leader Jenny Sparks’ origins as a far-more-disturbing tribute to the famous Watchmen. Although The Authority was launched in 1999, it was actually a spinoff from an earlier title, Stormwatch. Released in 1993 during the infamous comics speculator boom, Stormwatch follows a superhero team funded by the United Nations. Overseen by the Weatherman (Henry Bendix), the team watches over the planet from their global satellite.
