Acton reviewed V for Vendetta by Alan Moore
Review of 'V for Vendetta' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is a riveting, thought-provoking work. I'm very much taken with both story and artwork; the way Alan Moore and David Lloyd were able to collaborate is beautiful. The idea of using Guy Fawkes as the face for V was pure genius, and Valerie's story, told very effectively as a contraband scribbling on toilet paper, was beyond touching and gave the story impetus.
This is only the second graphic novel I've ever read (besides Fun Home), and I realize only lately that it's a shame to have overlooked an entire population of books, based solely on format!
