V for vendetta 19827/5/2023 ![]() Fawkes is the best known member of the “Gunpowder Plot,” a 1605 conspiracy by a group of English Catholics to assassinate King James I, blow up the House of Lords, and make James’s daughter, Princess Elizabeth, the new Catholic queen of England. V masquerades as one of the most famous rebels in British history, Guy Fawkes (15701606), complete with an eerily smiling face mask. Each of the chapter titles of V for Vendetta prominently features a word starting with “V.” He apparently took his alias from the Roman numeral “V” on the door of his room in which he was imprisoned. However, the story establishes that V was a prisoner in one of the British fascist regime’s concentration camps, where he was subjected to experiments that greatly enhanced his strength, endurance, and reflexes. Moore and Lloyd never reveal V’s true name or face. In V for Vendetta’s alternate history, there was a nuclear world war in the 1980s Britain survived, but a fascist political party took control of the government, imprisoning dissidents and other alleged undesirables in concentration camps. ![]() ![]() V for Vendetta, created by writer Alan Moore and artist David Lloyd, is the saga of V, a mysterious costumed vigilante with superhuman physical prowess, who conducts a one-man war against a totalitarian government that rules the United Kingdom.
