One of the most cerebral and unique graphic novels of all time since it first began in the UK as a serial then in 1988 when DC hired Alan Moore to extend the story as a comic series which later got turned into a graphic novel later on.

It's very much like 1984, Brazil and all that about anti-government and a very influential graphic novel as it's Alan Moore's most powerful since Watchmen and enjoyed this since i was 16.

The movie adaptation was quite good too.

Alan Moore is easily my favourite comic book/graphic novel writer ever. I like V for Vendetta - although The Killing Joke is my favourite.

I own the V for Vendetta movie too - very good.

I have read the novel and it was awesome. The first 8 issue were better than the movie but the end of the story... It was two short. V dies too early and I feel that something is missing at the end. It finishes in a moment and without a spectacular ending like in the film. And the worst thing is that this final explosion takes place on the 8th of november and it had to be on the 5th, don't you think so? He is V, november is the only month which has a V a the number five is V. So because this horrible ending, I'm comoletely sure that the film was better than the graphic novel
