Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Moore, Alan and David Lloyd, with Steve Whitaker and Siobhan Dodds. V for Vendetta / written by Alan Moore ; art by David Lloyd. New York: DC Comics, 1990. Vertigo Series. Eighth printing. Paperback, VG. Illustrated card cover with light shelfwear to corners and a corner crease on the reverse. Binding strong. [295]pp., graphic novel, colour illustrations throughout. Contents clean and bright. The story depicts a dystopian and post-apocalyptic near-future history version of the United Kingdom in the 1990s, preceded by a nuclear war in the 1980s that devastated most of the rest of the world. The Nordic supremacist, neo-fascist, outwardly Christofascistic, and homophobic fictional Norsefire political party has exterminated its opponents in concentration camps, and it now rules the country as a police state. The comics follow the story's title character and 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, bring down the fascist state, and convince the people to abandon fascism in favour of anarchy, while inspiring a young woman, Evey Hammond, to be his protégée.
