and I loved to read everything and I have to say that my favorite work by Alan Moore is this graphic novel V for Vendetta. I am a huge fan of Alan Moore's work and I have the luck to find a lot of his work, not only the quite known examples like Watchmen and this very graphic novel V for Vendetta but also his entire runs of Swamp Thing, Top Ten, Tom Strong, Promethea, Fashion Beast, along with great issues like For the Man who has everything, The Killing Joke, Whatever happened with the Man of Tomorrow, etc. If I take off that mask, something will go away forever, be diminished because whoever you are isn’t as big as the idea of you. Wonderful concepts that you only can get in the format of a graphic novel. It's a wonderful joy to watch how Alan Moore put everywhere the letter "v", in the titles of the chapters just to mention an example.Īlso, David Lloyd is a very creative partner of Moore, making into art many original concepts like a chapter made entirely in the form a music sheet. However, if you are a truly V for Vendetta's fan, like me, you must read the graphic novel at some point, or you will be missing a lot. There's no flesh or blood within this cloak to kill. Are there differences? Oh, yes! But, honestly, as a hardcore Alan Moore's fan, I think that the changes are good thinking that film is a different format than comic book and therefore, some things can be changed and still delivering the same powerful message. I liked it a lot and it's one of my favorite movies. It's very likely that by now, you may have watched the film and it's a very good adaptation. No, the plan of "V" is so carefully crafted that when the government think that he started, he is already finishing it. One of the first impacts when I read reading this graphic novel the first time, it was when I realized that you don't start to read in the beginning of the story. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. Everybody has their story to tell…Īnd the story of "V" is one very powerful to tell. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain, everybody. That quote resumes the very power of this majestic story.Įverybody is special. Governments should be afraid of their people. People should not be afraid of their governments.
However, the most powerful quote that sticks to my mind is. And certainly something quite easy to remember each year on the infamous mentioned date. It's one of the first sentences that came to mind when you think about the masterpiece by Alan Moore & David Lloyd. Remember, remember! The fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot! This TPB edition collects the original 10 comic book issues, then divided in the graphic novel in three chapters. Remember, remember the fifth of November.
