I don't know why your age would keep you from appreciating it. I was born in '86 but really all it takes is knowledge of the historical context.

I can only compare Watchmen to other graphic novels I have read.
Everything I've read/heard about Watchmen has given me the impression that what makes it brilliant is that it did things no other graphic novel had done by that time. I didn't read it until a year or two ago, and by then I had read so many graphic novels that had done so much more than Watchmen that I just didn't find it comparably impressive.
