This is the book that proves Alan Moore is correct when he says you cannot make a great film out of any of his works.

V For Vendetta is a Black and White comic masterpiece, a tale of revolution in a 1984 like Britain. Oceania is now Britain after the latter was destroyed by nuclear war. V is a revolutionary scholar, well educated and versed in classics and warfare, who donns the mask of his British revolution hero Guy Fawkes. As a anti-hero he saves the heroine from a rape and trains her up guerilla style by kidnapping her in his museum/library abode, testing both her common sense, loyalty, and literary prowess as he slowly but surely gets plans together to destroy the fascist world Oceania has become, and by any means necessary.

This is a long read but well worth it. The film didn't remotely do the graphic novel justice. This book will quench your Alan Moore thirst and give you everything the film lacked and then some.

Just read it. ( )

_V for Vendetta_ proves that a classic graphic novel does not equal classic literature. I think the comics - literary divide has closed in recent years as the form of the graphic novel has matured, but Moore does not stray too far from the super hero / dystopian future genres, so this book lacks thematic originality. Regardless, for a comic book, this certainly took the world by storm in the 1980s - although it hasn't aged well. What's funny is that Moore disowned the Natalie Portman film adaptation, which I think was pretty true to the spirit of this thing, but certainly perpetuates the flaws of the original. ( )

First time I've thought a movie was better than the book/graphic novel. ( )

A mysterious man in a Guy Fawkes mask spreads anarchy and vengeance throughout a dystopian London while the corrupt members of government try their best to catch him. Along the way he rescues a desperate young woman and indoctrinates her into his belief system. He's arguably riding the nut wagon, but is his worldview any crazier than the moral and political practices of those in charge?

In this seminal comic of the 1980's Moore's talent shines as he paints a dark and grim dystopia, makes us love to hate The Man while also being fascinated, horrified, and a little in love with the man in the mask as well. I adored it and can't believe it took me so long to read it. And I love a Guy Fawkes mask. ( )

It's even better on rereading. Especially in today's climate. We're in dire need of a V today. ( )

Good night England. Goodnight Home Service and V for Victory. Hello the Voice of Fate and V FOR VENDETTA. --introduction
And it's no good blaming the drop in work standards upon bad management, either...though, to be sure, the management is very bad. We've had a string of embezzlers, frauds, liars and lunatics making a string of catastrophic decisions. This is plain fact. But who elected them? It was you! You who appointed these people! You who gave them the power to make your decisions for you! While I'll admit that anyone can make a mistake once, to go on making the same lethal errors century after century seems to me nothing short of deliberate. You have encouraged these malicious incompetents, who have made your working life a shambles. You have accepted without question their senseless orders. You have allowed them to fill your workspace with dangerous and unproven machines. You could have stopped them. All you had to say was 'no.' You have no spine. You have no pride. You are no longer an asset to the company
It does not do to rely too much on silent majorities, Evey, for silence is a fragile thing... One loud noise, and it's gone.
Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away. We've seen where their way leads, through camps and wars, towards the slaughterhouse.
