I can see where, at the time, it would have been a Big Deal -- a big break from traditional comic book styles with more intricate, more fully human characters who are really "costumed vigilantes" rather than "superheroes", with human emotions and flaws.
These days, it's practically the norm. Even BSG has Admiral Adama drooling into his oatmeal while crying every other episode. Oh, look how human he is! Bah! You almost have to "break from the Watchman style" if you want to see something different. I dunno how many more stories I can take where the characters are mostly just kinda sad, pathetic and washed up. :-p
