V for Vendetta [B0521]

1990 PB in excellent condition, ninth printing. Now a major motion picture! A powerful story about loss of freedom and individuality, V for Vendetta takes place in a totalitarian England following a devastating war that changed the face of the planet. In a world without political freedom, personal freedom and precious little faith in anything, comes a beguiling and charismatic figure who launches a one-man crusade against government tyranny and oppression. It's a gripping tale of the blurred lines between ideological good and evil.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I have so much respect for Alan Moore. This graphic novel is art. It's also scarily relevant to modern times, with its scathing critiques of fascism-and of governmental power itself."; "Reading the forward to this from the author, it only shows how history repeats itself. Beneath this mask, there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask, there is an idea. And ideas are bulletproof."; "For anyone feeling disenchanted or powerless about the world. Herein lies hope. If not hope then at least a pressure valve."; "Must a comic be "good?" Alan Moore asks; "what if it encourages anarchy? is that enough?"
