Saw "V for Vendetta" on DVD this week. It's not a bad movie, but I thought the original eighties black and white comic by Alan Moore was more bleak and uncompromising. David Lloyd's artwork for the comic was particularly stark - to me back then, it was the antithesis of comic artists like John Bryne and George Perez. Don't get me wrong - I loved the artwork of Bryne & Perez. But Lloyd's was very different at the time, and suited the comic perfectly.
Both the comic & the movie finger-points at the apathy of the voting public - we get the government we deserve....
