In a post-nuclear world, Great Britain has emerged as a Fascist state. When young Evey Hammond is saved by a mysterious masked stranger, she is pulled into his quest to fight back and overthrow the government.

V for Vendetta is a ten-issue comic book series written by Alan Moore and illustrated mostly by David Lloyd. The series depicts a near-future UK after a nuclear war, which has left much of the world destroyed, though most of the damage to the country is indirect, via floods and crop failures. In this future, a fascist party called Norsefire has exterminated its opponents in concentration camps and now rules the country as a police state. V, an anarchist revolutionary dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask, begins an elaborate, violent, and intentionally theatrical campaign to murder his former captors, bring down the government, and convince the people to rule themselves.

Evey feels betrayed by her involvement in Bishop Lilliman's murder and gives V an ultimatum. Meanwhile, the Fingermen come closer to unlocking the mystery of V's identity!

V must come to a decision about Evey, but it's one his young compatriot might not like. Plus, V breaks into a television station with an important message.

V begins his broadcast and criticizes the human race itself, filling them in on their disappointing behavior. Meanwhile, Evey attempts to return to normal life after her abandonment.

Evey Hammond has been taken prisoner! Thrown into a cell and questioned and tortured relentlessly, Evey must search for a way to keep herself alive and her spirit itself from shattering.

Evey is given a choice: confess and work with her captors or face death. It all leads to the truth of her abduction and the beginning of the final chapters of V's saga!

One year after the bombing of the Parliament building, V destroys the Post Office Tower—effectively disabling the Eye, the Ear, and the Mouth. But what emerges from the destruction isn't yet the anarchy V envisioned, but chaos.

The final steps of V's plan are set into motion as he finally has his confrontation with Finch—an encounter that one of them will not survive.

The final issue of writer Alan Moore and artist David Lloyd's acclaimed series! One may be able to kill a person, but an idea is bulletproof...
