released a film adaptation of the same name, written and co-produced by the Wachowskis, in 2005. The comics follow the story's title character and protagonist, V, an anarchist revolutionary dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask, as he begins an elaborate and theatrical revolutionist campaign to kill his former captors, bring down the fascist state, and convince the people to abandon fascism in favour of anarchy, while inspiring a young woman, Evey Hammond, to be his protégée.ĭC Comics sold more than 500,000 copies of the graphic novel in the United States by 2006. The Nordic supremacist, neo-fascist, outwardly Christofascistic, and homophobic fictional Norsefire political party has exterminated its opponents in concentration camps, and now rules the country as a police state. The story depicts a dystopian and post-apocalyptic near- future history version of the United Kingdom in the 1990s, preceded by a nuclear war in the 1980s that devastated most of the rest of the world. Since then it has been transferred to DC Black Label. Subsequent collected editions were typically published under DC's specialized imprint, Vertigo, until that label was shut down in 2018. Initially published between 19 in black and white as an ongoing serial in the British anthology Warrior, its serialization was completed in 1988–89 in a ten-issue colour limited series published by DC Comics in the United States.
