About the character

Who is V?

The anarchist vigilante V — draped in a Guy Fawkes mask and cape — first appeared in Alan Moore and David Lloyd's Warrior serial in 1982 before the full collected story became one of the most important graphic novels ever published.

What is a first appearance worth?

Strong — hundreds to low thousands depending on grade

Warrior #1 is an actively traded UK collectible. Most raw copies in presentable condition fetch two to low three figures; sharper, higher-grade copies and any CGC-slabbed examples do noticeably better. Worth getting a proper offer rather than guessing from online price guides.
