    Oh, that sucks man! Have you tried to find another collection since?

    No. I bought the V graphic novel, down loaded the Miracle Man complete series, which also started in Warrior as Marvel Man(probably contributing to the problems the publishers encountered) & i bought the graphic novel ov Watchmen, as i also had the full set ov those before the move; but mostly i was more concerned replacing the tapes & records that i left behind.

    the movie's producers had the comic book collection?

    that i don't know, but Alan Moore was pretty annoyed w/the job they did.

    what did you do with the Warrior collection?

    that's a sad tale...we had to leave a squatted house we were living in in Finsbury Park, London, very quickly & it was basically just take what you can fit in the car boot.

    Lots ov stuff got left behind including my comic collection :angry:

    the colours being that pastel shade were not as bad as they could have been.

    Are you sure about that?

    Sure about what?

    i definitely had the original Warrior comics, they definitely stopped production before the strip finished, & they definitely had V for Vendetta in them so the Wiki & i agree on that.

    the original comics were magazine size so they were definitely bigger images than the DC comics or graphic novel.

    they were definitely in black & white, & i definitely was not impressed by the colour images.

    Yeah i'm sure about it.

    Except that that is not the source image.

    The first episodes of V for Vendetta originally appeared in black-and-white between 1982 and 1985, in Warrior, a British anthology comic published by Quality Comics. The strip became one of the most popular in that title; during the 26 issues of Warrior several covers featured V for Vendetta.

    When the publishers cancelled Warrior in 1985 (with two completed episodes unpublished due to the cancellation), several companies attempted to convince Moore and Lloyd to let them publish and complete the story. In 1988 DC Comics published a ten-issue series that reprinted the Warrior stories in colour, then continued the series to completion.

    i read the Warrior comics from the start & was pissed off when WHSmiths decided they were no longer going to distribute them, effectively taking them out ov the market place.

    i had to wait 3 years to see what happened to Evey after V welcomed her home from his prison cell.

    i was not impressed by the colour images. Lloyd's black & white drawings were much more atmospheric, plus the Warrior Comics were proper magazine size not those shrunken DC efforts.
