Description

About the Book

"A frightening and powerful tale of the loss of freedom and identity in a chillingly believable totalitarian world in which England has given itself over to fascism, this groundbreaking story captures both the suffocating nature of life in an authoritarian police state and the redemptive power of the human spirit that rebels against it. V for Vendetta stands as one of the highest achievements in the comics medium, and is a defining work for creators Alan Moore and David Lloyd. Crafted with sterling clarity and intelligence, this unflinching account of oppression and resistance is unequaled in its depth of characterization and verisimilitude"--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis

Alan Moore and David Lloyd's powerful epic about loss of freedom and individuality gets the DC Compact Comics treatment!

Taking place in a totalitarian England following a devastating war that changed the face of the planet, V FOR VENDETTA was the inspiration for the hit 2005 movie starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving.

This amazing graphic novel spotlights a mysterious man in a white porcelain mask and his young protégé as they fight political oppressors through terrorism and seemingly absurd acts. It's a gripping tale of the blurred lines between ideological good and evil and details a world where political and personal freedoms are non-existent.
