Este artigo faz uma comparação entre dois personagens literários: Snowman, do romance Oryx & Crake (2003) de Margaret Atwood, e Dr. Manhattan, da história em quadrinhos Watchmen (1987) de Alan Moore. O objetivo é discutir a confluência na construção de ambas as figuras, levando em consideração algumas críticas literárias aos livros que as originaram, bem como pressupostos teóricos sobre questões relativas ao nomadismo. Ao problematizar uma gama de assuntos, é possível conectar dois personagens com especificidades diferentes, uma vez que compartilham uma característica de vida errante e podem ser considerados uma subversão do herói tradicional.Downloads
