David Lloyd, illustrator of the V For Vendetta comic book, to visit the Comic Books Zone!
Almost everyone has seen, read or at least heard of “V For Vendetta” and is familiar with the distinctive figure of V, the masked man. It’s a title that addresses many issues, such as individual freedom, abuse of power, social manipulation and the fight against totalitarianism. And the Guy Fawkes mask itself has become a symbol of resistance and rebellion in popular culture. This comic is a classic among works of graphic literature, whose issues are still relevant today. Therefore a meeting with David Lloyd, who is responsible for the graphic side of this unique comic book will be an extremely exciting event at the upcoming Pyrkon!
