1997, une Angleterre qui aurait pu exister… Dirigée par un gouvernement fasciste, le pays a sombré dans la paranoïa et la surveillance à outrance. Les « ennemis politiques » sont invariablement envoyés dans des camps et la terreur et l’apathie règnent en maître. Mais un homme a décidé de se dresser contre l’oppression. Dissimulé derrière un masque au sourire énigmatique, il répond au nom de V : V pour Vérité, V pour Valeurs… V pour Vendetta !

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!
