20 years. More to come.

[Update: Ha. Great minds, etc. Nevertheless, return later for a look back at "V" by our own David Pepose.]

    HOLY LORD!

    Credit to Blog@ for using it first, but now no less than THREE other sites have used this exact headline. The Beat, Comics Alliance and now Bleeding Cool.

    I’ve never gotten around to reading V for Vendetta. Is this line used in the book at all, or is everybody paraphrasing it from The Fantasticks?

    @Wesley

    Yeah, it has prominent use in the book. It’s the poem associated with Guy Fawkes day (November 5th), and that history and imagery is crucial.

    Note also that we followed up with a look at the history of the book in David’s “Dial V for History”.
