That is really relative to the chld in question and should likely be a choice made by the parents and the child based on their own morals and rules matched with the sophistication level of the child. If the 10-year-old has a reasonable ability to understand the context of a complex story at a mature level, then it is a fine choice for a comics fan. It has been labeled a 'Mature Readers' title as the plot contains subjects such as graphic violence, murder, sex, and rape --but so does Shakespeare. Bottom line: if you would not condone a ten-year-old watching an average episode of Law & Order, then you probably should hold off on letting him read Watchmen for a few more years. It will probably be worth the wait.
