Yes, Spiderman seems pretty kiddy/teen stuff to me, albeit I have never read one. I can see that stuff like Watchman and Sin City aren't though. Then again, aren't they 'graphic novels'? Then there's newspaper 'cartoons', which are def. for adults, so where do they fit in?
Probably there's some intuitive difference I neither get nor can readily describe. I think if you can call it 'manga' instead of 'komikku' in japanese and no one goes 'eh?' it's probably manga.

Both Watchmen and Sin City were originally serialized as monthly releases just like Spiderman and Archie and such.
