V for Vendetta: DC Compact Comics Edition - Paperback

by Alan Moore (Author), David Lloyd (Illustrator)

Alan Moore and David Lloyd's powerful epic about loss of freedom and individuality gets the DC Compact Comics treatment!

Taking place in a totalitarian England following a devastating war that changed the face of the planet, V FOR VENDETTA was the inspiration for the hit 2005 movie starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving.

This amazing graphic novel spotlights a mysterious man in a white porcelain mask and his young protégé as they fight political oppressors through terrorism and seemingly absurd acts. It's a gripping tale of the blurred lines between ideological good and evil and details a world where political and personal freedoms are non-existent.
