What this book is about
Alan Moore and David Lloyd's seminal graphic novel is set in a totalitarian Britain where a mysterious anarchist in a Guy Fawkes mask wages a one-man war against the fascist government that has imprisoned, experimented on, and oppressed its citizens. Deeply political, graphically violent, and philosophically ambitious, it remains one of the defining works of the medium.
