The V for Vendetta #1 in context
Why collectors care
V for Vendetta #1 (1988) begins the DC edition of the Alan Moore and David Lloyd series, a landmark dystopian story whose imagery became culturally iconic.
How to identify it
The 1988 DC first printing of the ten-issue series (the story originally ran in the UK; this is the color DC edition). Confirm the issue and edition.
Common mistakes
The trade collection is not the single issue. Later printings exist; check the indicia.
Grade considerations
High-grade copies are scarcer than the era suggests. Spine and corner wear are the usual grade-limiters.

Recorded sales by grade · how this summary is built+
Newest recorded sale: 2026-09-21. This summary describes stored history.
Inclusion
All 6 recorded eBay sold (completed) listings in this historical sample, grouped by grader and grade. Asking prices and active listings are never counted.
Outlier handling
Within any grade that has four or more sales, a price below one-third of, or above three times, the within-grade median is set aside before the median is taken. For this item, 2 of 6 sales were set aside on this rule.
A comic sale that sold for under a third of the median of this issue's lower-grade sales is also set aside as a probable reprint, facsimile, later printing or restored copy, since a higher grade of the same book should not sell for less. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
| Grade | Sales | Included | Set aside |
|---|---|---|---|
| CGC 9 | 6 | 4 | 2 |
Shipping and fees

Provenance
Every sale in this summary was a completed eBay sale, listed by date, grade and price in the sales table lower on this page. Individual listings are not linked. Methodology version 2026.4. Read the full methodology.
