Publisher Review

"Mr. Moore, a native of Northampton, England, distinguished himself as a darkly philosophical voice in the medium of comic books -- a rare talent whose work can sell solely on the strength of his name."--The New York Times "Dark, gripping storytelling." --Entertainment Weekly "It is a good book, it is smart, and there's no doubt that it remains relevant." --The Guardian "Moore's work has great depth. It shows a dirty world with ugly, fully-realized characters." --IGN "A complex, involving narrative." --AV Club "It's difficult not to be sucked into V's take on anarchy. --PopMatters
