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.
