Set in a dystopian near-future Britain, Alan Moore's 1982 graphic novel V for Vendetta follows an anarchist revolutionary named V as he seeks vengeance against the former administrators of a concentration camp and topples the country's white-supremacist, fascist heads of government. Concealing his identity with a Guy Fawkes mask, V trains a teenage girl named Evey Hammond to take over the V persona and mask in case he dies.
Moore developed the novel with illustrator David Lloyd, who had the idea to dress V in a Guy Fawkes costume rather than portraying him as a conventional superhero.
V for Vendetta was adapted into a film by the same name in 2005.
