| Kurzbeschreibung: | | |  | | 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 | | | | V for Vendetta is, like its author's later Watchmen, a landmark in comic-book writing.

| | Bisher habe ich noch keinen Comic(bzw. graphic novel) gelesen und ich bezweifle, das es einen vergleichbaren gibt, der so literarisch, so gut, so weise ist wie v for vendetta. die geschichte ist so realistisch, die graphisch umsetztung so GENIAL wie in keinem anderen werk diese genres. das beste stück comic-geschichte, das es gibt. Haben sie je in einem comic eine aussage wie: "unfreiwillige ordunug erzeut unzufriedenheit, die mutter der unordnung, ahnherrin der guillotine. Autoritäre gesellschaften sind wie formationstänze. kompliziert, mechanisch genau und vor allem instabil. unter der dünnen kruste der Zivilisation schäumt das kalte Chaos...und an manchen stellen ist das eis trügerisch dünn" gelesen? so philosophisch ist nur Alan Moores und David lloyds V.
| | Einer der besten Comics aller Zeiten - mehr als nur ein Comic | |
| | In einer alternativen Zukunft, in der England ein faschistischer Überwachungsstaat ist, beginnt ein Mann mit Maske einen gnadenlosen Rachefeldzug, der zu den Hauptverantwortlichen ganz nach oben führt. Rache für etwas, das lange zurück liegt, aber einen der komplexesten und düstersten Comic-Helden aller Zeiten erschuf.
Comics stehen zwischen Filmen (Produktion und Storyboards) und Romanen, bilden aber eine eigene Kunstform. Alan Moores "V for Vendetta" wurde verfilmt, und der düstere, wenn auch farbige Comic war dazu eine äußerst kraftvolle Vorlage. Zeichnerisch ein ganz anderer Stil als "Watchmen" (ebenfalls Alan Moore) musste ich mich erst einmal etwas daran gewöhnen, dass die Bilder oft nicht so scharf und detailreich wie etwa "Watchmen" gezeichnet sind, sondern mehr wie ein böser Traum erscheinen. Comic und Film weichen in der Storyline kaum voneinander ab, doch der Comic mit 300 Seiten braucht deutlich mehr Zeit. Davon, dass der Comic auf Englisch ist, sollte man sich nicht abschrecken lassen, die Texte sind anspruchsvoll, intelligent, aber nicht schwierig, und die Bilder sprechen für sich.
| | | 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? Also Read 'Quest' von Kostantinos--Super buch.
| | Wunderbare graphic novel mit Hintergrund | |
| | Alan Moore und David Lloyd haben mit ?V for Vendetta" ein Meisterwerk der graphic novel abgeliefert. Besser hätte auch ein Roman dieses Thema nicht aufarbeiten können. Somit ist es umso bedauerlicher, dass dieser Geschichte allein aufgrund ihres Mediums nicht das Maß an Anerkennung zuteil wird, das sie meiner Meinung nach verdient hätte. Abschließend sei noch eine Empfehlung auszusprechen: Wer nicht davor zurückscheut, sollte ?V for Vendetta" im Original lesen, da viele Zitate und Anspielungen im Englischen einfach nicht adäquat übersetzt werden können.
| | Based on plot and artistry, | |
| | | "V for Vendetta" deserves five stars. Alan Moore's alternate history throws the reader into a chilling fascist England where the champion of liberty is the poetic, deranged vigilante, V. England has somehow survived the consequences of humanity's self-destructive myopia, but it has not survived intact. Facism rules the day, and England has been generally "purified" of minorities, homosexuals, and other officially-targeted degenerates. But plenty of officially-sanctioned degenerates abound, and they form both the upper and lower echelons of this new England. That is, until V strikes a blow for chaos, for liberty, and for freedom. V, a scarred survivor of the worst of the internment camps formed by the fascists, is undeniably insane, but he has the spirit of a poet and the mind of a genius hidden behind his Guy Fawkes mask. He singlehandedly leads a campaign of terrorism against the corrupt powers-that-be, and there are several dazzling passages as "V" explores both V's perspective on life and his history as well as the more sordid characters who comprise England's new corrupt power structure. A great twisted novel to check out is by_Giorgio Kostantinos_his_novel_is_The Quest
