V for Vendetta is, like its author's later Watchmen, a landmark in comic-book writing. Alan Moore has led the field in intelligent, politically astute (if slightly paranoid), complex adult comic-book writing since the early 1980s. He began V back in 1981 and it constituted one of his first attempts (along with the criminally neglected but equally superb Miracleman) at writing an ongoing series. It is 1998 (which was the future back then!) and a Fascist government has taken over the UK. The only blot on its particular landscape is a lone terrorist who is systematically killing all the government personnel associated with a now destroyed secret concentration camp. Codename V is out for vengeance ... and an awful lot more. V feels slightly dated like all past premonitions do. The original series was black and white and that added to the grittiness of the feel while the colouring here in the graphic novel sometimes blurs David Lloyd's fine drawing. But these are small concerns. Skilfully plotted, V is an essential read for all those who love comics and the freedom, as a medium, they allow a writer as skilled as Moore. The graphic novel contains all the V series plus two additional stories concerning V that were originally considered "interludes". This edition also contains an essay from Moore dating from 1983 explaining the creation process. For any comic fan it's a must-have. --Mark Thwaite

IMMENSE CHEF D'OEUVRE Juin 19, 2008
Arnaud Villeroy (Nice)
Oeuvre d'anticipation plante dans un futur pas si lointain oppresse par un Big Brother tyrannique, ou une ex-victime du systeme s'eleve avec genie contre le pouvoir en place. Ecrit avec maestria par un Alan Moore au sommet de son art, le scenario est d'une richesse incroyable et foisonne dans tous les sens d'une culture enorme, avec une foule de personnages forts. Le dessin de Lloyd, qui n'etait pas ma tasse de the au depart, s'apprivoise rapidement et illustre finalement magnifiquement l'atmosphere sombre de ce monde inquietant. Globalement un reel chef d'oeuvre parfait a tous niveaux, constituant une pierre angualaire de la BD contemporaine, et la version integrale represente en plus un superbe objet.
Oeuvre de jeunesse Février 26, 2008
Thierry Chich (France)
Bien sur, il s'agit d'une oeuvre de jeunesse. Bien sur, elle est datee. Mais sa forme est excellente. On voit tout les traits du tres grand scenariste qu'est Alan Moore se dessiner. Et au final, il s'agit d'une oeuvre profondement romantique, poignante et peut-etre meme edifiante pour tout ceux qui n'aurait pas la claire conscience de ce qu'est un regime totalitaire. Au debut des annees 80, la fin des fascismes europeens etait encore recente, et le communisme avait encore 10 annees devant lui.
Alan Moore's most provocative graphic novel Juin 3, 2005

It is perhaps simplistic to declare that "V for Vendetta" is Alan Moore's version of George Orwell's "1984." Orwell came up with his "prophetic" title by reversing the last two digits of the year in which he wrote his book. Moore began his story in 1982, picturing a future that was around the corner and setting his tale in then late 1990s in a Britain that had become a fascist state. Moore worked from the assumption that in 1983 the Conservatives would lose the elections and that the Labour Party would remove American missiles from the British Isles, which meant that England would no longer be a target during a nuclear war. In the post-holocaust Britain of the 1990s, Moore posited a Fascist takeover. The title character of V is a one time victim of a concentration camp medical experiment who is now an enigmatic hero wearing a grinning Guy Fawkes mask; Fawkes was one of the conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot that was an attempt to assassinate King James I of England. In the opening chapter V sets his sights on The Voice of Fate, the official voice of the government's propagandistic lies. From that small but significant initial victory, the battle continues. There is something decidedly "English" about "V for Vendetta," and not simply because of the setting. Moore can talk about Harlan Ellison's "'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman" and "Fahrenheit 451" being among the elements he drew upon to create his own brave new world, but it is clear that he owes more to Orwell and Huxley, to Robin Hood and "The Prisoner," than American manifestations of the same impulse to freedom. V is not a superhero, even if the medical experiments have somehow made him more than human. Sometimes we forget that a lot of our heritage, both culturally as well as politically, comes from England, and on one level this work reminds us of our English roots. It is ironic that Moore tells his story as a graphic novel because traditionally your comic book superhero is essentially a fascist vigilante. However, Moore succeeds in finding the perfect context to turn the traditional approach on its head. Most people have no conception of what is meant by the term "Fascism." They equate the idea with Hitler, although it was coined by Mussolini, and Hitler means Nazis, Anti-Semitism and Concentration Camps. Of course, Moore knows better. Fascism is based on the "struggle" for "order" wherein the ends justify all sorts of means. This dynamic clearly runs counter to the democratic ideals of "liberty" and "property." Historically, then, we are confronted with the monumental irony that although the Fascists lost World War II, the Cold War was on one level the triumph of Fascism, a period where we allowed all sorts of travesties, from the McCarthy witch hunts to Nixon's executive orders in the name of "national security." Moore brings the idea of fascism home. If you cannot recognize it in England's green and pleasant fields then you are never going to recognize it when it walks down Main Street in your hometown, U.S.A. Don't you think you should? David Lloyd is the artist for the "V for Vendetta" series, although Tony Weare did the art for "Vincent" and some additional art on "Valerie" and "The Vacation." Notice the pattern? All of the chapter headings in each issue begin or at least include the letter "V." Lloyd's peculiar style is particularly well suited to this particular storyline. It is odd and a bit off, just like the world it is depicting. Lloyd, Siobhan Dodds and Steve Whitaker did the coloring, and I give them special mention because there is a carefully constructed style that also fits the mood and tenor of the tale. Read the graphic novel before the film version directed by James McTeigue with a screenplay by Andy and Larry Wachowski comes out with Natalie Portman as Evey Hammond and Hugo Weaving as V (now you know why her head was shaved at the premier of "Revenge of the Sith"). Stephen Fry (Gordon Deitrich), Rubert Graves (Dominic), John Hurt (Bishop Lilliman), Tim Pigott-Smith (Edward Finch), and Stephen Rea (Lewis Pothrero) make the supporting cast.
 Tres bon comics, mais pas definitif Avril 17, 2005

Alors evidemment c'est Alan Moore, et meme dans cette oeuvre de "jeunesse" (Lloyd et lui l'ont commence en 82-83), on sent l'ecriture d'un tres grand. Les personnages sont fouilles et credibles, les dialogues toujours justes, et la qualite d'ecriture est indeniable. Le dessin de David Lloyd, meme s'il accuse un petit coup de vieux, reste admirable, illustrant a merveille cette lutte tres romanesque entre l'homme et le systeme.
Pourtant ce n'est pas mon comics prefere de Moore : les personnages secondaires sont tellement nombreux qu'on perd parfois un peu le fil, l'apologie de l'anarchisme est trop lourde, trop "adolescente", et l'histoire est trop conventionnelle a mon gout. Mais bon, que ces points de detail ne vous arretent surtout pas : il s'agit de toute facon d'une tres saine lecture :)
Un des chefs d'oeuvre d'Alan Moore Avril 26, 2003

V pour Vendetta est une oeuvre culte. Dans une Angleterre fasciste, un heros se leve contre l'oppression et le totalitarisme. Bourree de references, tres bien illustree par David Lloyd, V Pour Vendetta beneficie du talent exceptionnel de son scenariste, Alan Moore (auteur notamment de Watchmen, de From Hell et de Promethea).Cette edition en anglais est de tres bonne qualite, tout comme la francaise reparue chez Delcourt.
