Not even a presidential election is likely to slow the wave of fantasy novels that has been building the past few years.

Alan Moore has many, many stories still to tell.

Watchmen, Damon Lindelofs TV adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons graphic novel, has no shortage of real-world references. Taking place over 30 years after the events of the graphic novel, the HBO series continues to expand the alternate timeline that parallels Americas ongoing 200-year-plus history. Heres an ongoing list -- updated with each new episode -- of all the historical events, political figures and pop culture references featured in the series.

The Watchmen are back with a whole new saga, which is previewed in HBOs first official trailer for the upcoming series. The original Watchmen is being remixed, as the creator puts it, with the introduction of new characters that live in a world years after the original events took place. In this Watchmen, Rorschach's followers are white supremacists, and the police don these masks as they fight against terrorists in their theoretical backyard. Speaking to ET in late April while she was filming Watchmen in Atlanta, Chau admitted she was having a great time on set.

In this Watchmen, Rorschach's followers are white supremacists. "I went through a very intensive terror of f**king it up I'm not entirely sure I'm out of that tunnel. "I'm channeling the spirit of Alan Moore to tell Alan Moore, 'F**k you, I'm doing it anyway.'" In this Watchmen, Robert Redford is president of the United States, and has been since the '90s. "They've abolished term limits," Lindelof explained, adding that the show analyzes "what happens if a well-intentioned white man is president for far too long."
