Abstract
V for Vendetta is a British dystopian graphic novel scripted by Alan Moore and pencilled and illustrated by David Lloyd which was originally published as an ongoing blackand-white series in Warrior, the British comics anthology edited from 1982 to 1985, and later collected as a ten-issue limited series re-published in colorized form by DC Comics and its respective imprint, Vertigo, from 1988 to 1989. As a near-future historical depiction of the United Kingdom in the 1990s which was annihilated by a nuclear war and thus embroidered in a post-apocalyptic fabric woven and exploited by a supremacist political party, V for Vendetta echoes not only the period of the Cold War, but also alludes to the fascist period of the 1940s as the inceptive years of the Second World War. This ties it to the thematic framework of 1984, a seminal dystopian science-fiction novel authored by George Orwell, published in 1949 and set in the fictional United Kingdom during the year of 1984. Orwell’s 1984 largely draws upon and delineates the totalitarian milieu established during the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Both novels are nowadays considered to be classics in their respective genres. As political fiction, the novels are largely perceived as critiques of the periods they directly echo, but also of the entirety of regimes built upon mechanisms of control such as manipulation of the masses, perpetuity of war, the omnipresence of government surveillance, and the existence of police states.
