| Freedom Fighters
in a Dystopian World
The mysterious V fights an
undergound war of wills against a fascist Great Britian of the future in
this Vertigo collection of England's cult classic. When the DC mini-series
first represented this lost piece of graphic literature, it was the first
time the work had ever been printed in its entirety. |

A frightening
and powerful story of the loss of freedom and identity in a totalitarian
world, V for Vendetta takes place in an alternate future in which Germany
wins WWII and Britain becomes a fascist state. A vigilante named "V" stalks
the streets of London trying to free England of its ideological chains.
Moore's poetic language coupled with Lloyd's eerie, washed-out color art
makes this a captivating read sure to stay with you.

| Termial City
is an award nominated series which is, strangly enough, set in the advanced
East Coast US metropolis "Terminal City". This comic revolves around a
group of modern day Daredevils, primarily Cosmo Quinn, "the Human Fly"
who scales the tallest of buildings as well as living a double life cleaning
the windows of such glass towers. The Streamline styling harks back to
the thirties, the sky filled with enormous zepplins captained by German
aviators, high speed trains cross the Atlantic with the greatest of ease
whilst surly dome topped robots keep things running smoothly and on the
other hand cause total havoc. This is an another excellent book from Vertigo,
very well written and researched as well as paying homage to great authors
such as George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. |
