'' by David Lloyd.]] David Lloyd (born 1950 ) is a British Comics artist best known as the Illustrator of the Graphic Novel '' V For Vendetta '', written by Alan Moore . He started working in comics in the late 1970s, drawing for ''Halls of Horror'', ''TV Comic'' and a number of Marvel UK titles. With writer Steve Parkhouse , he created the pulp adventure character Night Raven . When former Marvel UK editor Dez Skinn set up '' Warrior '' magazine in 1982, he asked Lloyd to create a new pulp character. Lloyd and writer Alan Moore (who had previously collaborated on several '' Doctor Who '' stories at Marvel UK) created ''V for Vendetta'', a dystopian adventure featuring a flamboyant Anarchist terrorist fighting against a future Fascist government. Lloyd, who illustrated in cinematic Chiaroscuro , devised V's Guy Fawkes -inspired appearance and suggested that Moore avoid captions, Sound Effect s and thought balloons. After ''Warrior'' folded in 1984, the series was reprinted and continued in colour by DC Comics and collected as a graphic novel in 1995, and then developed into a Film released in 2006. Lloyd has also worked on '' Espers '', with writer James D. Hudnall , for Eclipse Comics ; '' Hellblazer '', with writers Grant Morrison and Jamie Delano , and ''War Story'', with Garth Ennis , for DC; and '' Global Frequency '', with Warren Ellis , for Wildstorm . With Delano he also drew '' The Territory '' for Dark Horse , where he has also worked on some of their licensed properties like '' Aliens '' and '' James Bond ''. He has also created a graphic novel, ''Kickback'', for French publisher Editions Carabas , which is available in the US and UK via Dark Horse (ISBN 1-59307-659-2). BIBLIOGRAPHY
