what major comic milestone did watchmen make that hadn't already happen?

I may want to read these- but they're all rare classic milestone issues! Wher can you read a copy of these? Rob an old collector? Maybe the title of this article was wrong. You cannot really read these, at least in their original form.

Watchmen took part in changing the tone of comics today. It wasn't a first appearance of a classic character or anything, but if you trivialize its importance to comics, then you haven't been reading comics past the 80s.
