Following on from yesterday’s scans of the second issue of Dez Skinn’s seminal British comic Warrior I picked up recently, here’s another look back at another then-new work which has become utterly iconic and incredibly influential, Alan Moore and David Lloyd’s V For Vendetta (confession time, I actually personally rate V slightly higher than Watchmen). I’m so used to my nice, deluxe, clean, colour hardback collection of V now, it is odd to go back to 1982 and look at it in the original black and white, serialised format, but this is where it began, from a few pages per issue in that grand old British anthology comics format that has been the apprentice workshop of many creators who went on to bigger and better things. Again, click the pics to see the bigger versions on Flickr.
