Relation Concering Books V for Vendetta (V for Vendetta #Complete)
"Remember, remember the fifth of November..."A frightening and powerful tale of the loss of freedom and identity in a chillingly believable totalitarian world, V for Vendetta stands as one of the highest achievements of the comics medium and a defining work for creators Alan Moore and David Lloyd.
Set in an imagined future England that 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 which rebels against it. Crafted with sterling clarity and intelligence, V for Vendetta brings an unequaled depth of characterization and verisimilitude to its unflinching account of oppression and resistance.

If Watchmen is Alan Moore's Sergeant Pepper, and From Hell his Abbey Road (And in the end the love you take is equal to the number of prostitutes you disembowl) then V For Vendetta is his Rubber Soul. Like Rubber Soul it tends to get overlooked and undervalued because it's "merely" a perfect pop record rather then a artform redefining masterpiece. V is simply put a potent piece of Pop Art. The story is bracing, the art beautiful, the way it plays with iconography of humanities past sins isPost-catastrophic dystopias were all the rage in the 1980s. After all, the end of the century was just around the corner, and millennialism was getting into a gentle simmer it is now, it seems, in a running boil. It was a second golden age for science fiction and dystopian visions of the future: the time of The Handmaid's Tale and Blade Runner and Neuromancer and Terminator and V (the miniseries with the lizard-like aliens) and many others. V for Vendetta, published around 1988, fits right in
I freaking love the movie and I love this novel!! One day I will add the pic of me in my V mask! I just need to get a good hat and cape 😉Happy Reading! Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
In times of darkness and great need, we look for a hero. Book 1:The backstory and a particularly intriguing story of freedom versus justice emerges in this postnuclear apocalyptic story. Tick-tock, times up for some very bad people. I also recall why my farmboy friends are not stupid. I had a machete and gasoline, and they... well, I'd have been a bigger fan of chemistry, too. The things you learn playing in the shed. Book 2:The saga continues, but this time we see Evey and her trajectory. There

4.5 StarsDamn. Alan Moore is one hell of a writer. This was written in the 80's yet the parallels to today...its chilling. I watched the movie years ago and liked it but I always hesitated on reading the graphic novel. Im glad I finally did. The political and social commentary is still very relevant. I wasnt the biggest fan of the illustrations. I often found it difficult to decipher who was who in the panels so if their names werent said, I wasnt always sure who was present. Other than that
