About V for Vendetta in brief
V for Vendetta is a British graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd. The story depicts a dystopian and post-apocalyptic near-future history version of the United Kingdom in the 1990s. The Nordic supremacist, neo-fascist, outwardly Christofascistic, and homophobic fictional Norsefire political party has exterminated its opponents in concentration camps, and now rules the country as a police state. The comics follow the story’s protagonist, V, an anarchist revolutionary dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask, as he begins an elaborate and theatrical revolutionist campaign to kill his former captors. Warner Bros. released a film adaptation of the same name in 2005. The book has a wide number of academic studies, above and beyond academic studies in science fiction and fantasy, such as the writings of Thomas Disch, Harlan Ellison, Dr. Vincent Price and The Shadow of the Blood City at the Edge of the World by Vincent Phibes. In August 2009 DC published a slipcased Absolute Edition ; this includes newly coloured \”silent art\” pages from the series’ original run, which have not previously appeared in any previous collected edition. DC Comics sold more than 500,000 copies of the graphic novel in the United States by 2006. The entire series has appeared collected in paperback and hardback form, including Moore’s \”Behind the Painted Smile\” essay and two \”interludes\” outside the central continuity. Later collections include reissued paperbacks, published in the US by DC’s Vertigo imprint and in the UK by Titan Books.
A new hardback edition was published in 2005 featuring improved printing and coloring. In the UK, the book has been published in hardback and paperback, as well as in a number of specialist hardback editions, including the latest edition of Titan Books’ Hardback edition of the book, which was released in August 2009. It has also been published as a single hardback book, with a hardback cover, and in a single paperback edition of The Shadow Of The Blood City by Dr Vincent Price, which has a cover by David Bowie. The first episodes of V for Vendeta appeared in black-and-white between 1982 and 1985, in Warrior, a British anthology comic published by Quality Communications. When the publishers cancelled Warrior in 1985, several companies attempted to convince Moore and Lloyd to let them publish and complete the story. In 1988, DC Comics published a ten-issue series that reprinted the Warrior stories in colour, then continued the series to completion. Tony Weare drew one chapter and contributed additional art to two others ; Steve Whitaker and Siobhan Dodds worked as colourists on the entire series. During the preparation of the story, Moore made a list of what he wanted to bring into the plot, which he reproduced in \”Repent!\” Said the Huxley, Dredd, Judge Dredd and Harlequin author Vincent Price’s Ticktockman and The Prowler.
