Este artigo faz uma comparação entre dois personagens da literatura: Snowman, do romance Oryx & Crake (2003), de Margaret Atwood, e Dr. Manhattan, da graphic novel Watchmen (1987), de Alan Moore. O objetivo e discutir a confluência na construção de ambas as figuras, considerando algumas criticas sobre as obras das quais elas foram retiradas, bem como pressupostos teóricos sobre questões relativas ao nomadismo. Ao problematizar uma serie de temas, e possível conectar dois personagens com diferentes especificidades, visto que partilham uma característica de vida errante, além de poderem ser considerados uma subversão do herói tradicional.Downloads
