V for Vendetta



After long time I read graphic novel, as a kid we used to read about Phantom, batman, superman and chaha-chaudhari :) but this is quite different experience, it is serious in nature and discusses about the philosophical quest like for social welfare what is good governance?

There are lots of books and thoughts which advocate democracy, monarchy, aristocracy, this specific book talks about anarchy…

The most interesting thing about this graphical novel is the usage of metaphors, scenario buildings with the help of strong visual language used by Alan Moore and David Lloyd.

Reading this novel is an experience in itself, but so many times I felt characters are confusing and difficult to recognize through visual depiction. The usage of negative space in illustration style is amazing!
