| Product Details |
| This dark and controversial graphic novel, which features a terrorist as hero (or anti-hero, depending on one's point of view), inspired a 2006 film starring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman. After a nuclear war devastates the world, England dissolves into chaos, making it ripe for a fascist takeover a few years later. But one man dares to defy the government's iron grip: a man in a smiling Guy Fawkes mask who has quite a way with explosives, almost unearthly fighting skills, and an amazing ability to penetrate the tightest security. What face lies behind the mask of the anarchist who calls himself V and what is his true agenda? |

Onion A.V. Club: "V FOR VENDETTA's mix of comfort-food dystopia, muted humanism, bleak poetry, and technical virtuosity is a far more palatable icebreaker, and one that serves equally as an entree into mainstream and underground comics. And the bottom line? In spite of its grim tone and literary air, it's still got a guy in a cape and a mask kicking [butt].", SF Eye: "This is a powerful and thought-provoking cautionary tale....[V FOR VENDETTA] should be on the reading lists of those genuinely interested in the accessability of alternative philosophies in popular culture." |
