 V for Vendetta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
V for Vendetta is a ten-issue comic book limited series, later collected as a graphic novel, written by Alan Moore and illustrated mostly by David Lloyd, set in a dystopian future United Kingdom where a mysterious anarchist works to destroy the fascist government and profoundly affects the people he encounters.
Moore and Lloyd initially conceived the series as a dark adventure strip influenced by British comic characters of the 1960s, as well as Night Raven, a Marvel UK strip which Lloyd had previously worked on with writer Steve Parkhouse.
David J. of the band Bauhaus, who has collaborated with Moore on other projects, recorded a version of V's song This Vicious Cabaret and other music inspired by the book, which appeared on an EP titled V for Vendetta.

 Please, Sir, I Want Some Moore By Douglas Wolk
Even so, he's dismissed the "grim and gritty" school of comics writing he fathered as the unwanted result of "a bad mood I was in 15 years ago," and his recent work is much lighter in tone.
Moore's debut, in the early '80s, roughly coincided with the rise of the independent comics movement and the schism between the mainstream (the superhero genre-fiction comics industry) and indie publishers (which concentrate on cartoonist "auteurs" who both write and draw).
Meanwhile, Moore and artist David Lloyd returned to finish their incomplete early project V for Vendetta, recently adapted into a screenplay by The Matrix's Wachowski brothers.

 Comic Book Galaxy - Celebrating Five Years of Pushing Comix Forward
Some blame for this has to be assigned to artist Lloyd, who didn't go to a lot of effort to provide clearly distinct visuals for many of these characters, going instead for a generic comic-book man/woman style.
He's never going to be included in a list of good-girl artists either; his females are all awkwardly proportioned, gawky people, and this may be intentional in an expressionistic way, don't know.
Lloyd is a solid craftsman and flashes moments of brilliance in this book, though- he doesn't cohere with Moore as brilliantly as Dave Gibbons did on Watchmen, but it's difficult to imagine any other artist doing a better job on this story.

I later came to appreciate comics as an art form, and realized that even with glorious exceptions like Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtz, this was a field that was still largely untouched.
That was one of the strips where I was first working with David Lloyd and started to realize a lot of the possibilities about telling a story.
But the English comics were about naughty schoolboys, were about things that were kind of familiar to me. that I wasn't really that interested in.

 Daniel Clowes
Before the Ghost World graphic novel and film propelled Daniel Clowes to international superstardom as the preeminent cartoonist of his generation, his ongoing comic book Eightball was already the most talked-about series of the 1990s.
Noted comics historian Roger Sabin, author of Phaidon's Comics, Comix and Graphic Novels, calls 20th Century Eightball a "corrosively satirical vision of an America cracking apart, and confirms Clowes as a worthy successor to the underground greats of the 1960s."

In this first volume, bringing together issues one to six of the monthly comic, we see a range of characters capable of different things - a woman with a bionic arm, a sniper, a driver, a magician, a le parkour runner.
The fact that a different artist draws each episode is one of those things that sounds novel but ends up a bit messy when collected like this.
There's no arguing about the quality of talent that's been lined up for this, with the likes of Steve Dillon, Garry Leach, David Lloyd and Glenn Fabry on the case, but their differing styles can detract from the common themes, such as the varying renditions of Zero and Aleph.

An absorbing and deeply unsettling read which goes out of it's way to present a realistic view of life in the Victorian age, it combines a chilly detached documentary style with bursts of hallucinatory menace and unflinchingly brutal recreations of the Ripper's crimes.
The choice of Eddie Campbell affected the whole visual language of the story, and is one of the reasons why 'From Hell' manages to create such an effective sense of unease.
The visual storytelling would always be pretty well unvarying middle distance shots of people standing around talking, and the range of emotions on their faces and their body language was very limited in comparison to what was allowed in action or horror strips.
