David Lloyd 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 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 effects and thought balloons.
We spoke to David Lloyd about the legacy of V for Vendetta and the recent film adaptation.

Test Icicles sound like everything, all at once, with little left out. Rory Aggwelt, Sam Merrann and Devonte Hynez are three restlessly inventive dudes, with divergent backgrounds in hardcore, metal, hardcore metal, and hip-hop. They listen to every conceivable kind of music going, and when they’re done listening to it, they throw it in the pot. No compromises, no faffing, just a swampy mass of influences frothing and bubbling until it sounds nothing like its composite parts.
We caught up with Rory and Dev in France just down the road from where they recorded their debut album, ‘For Screening Purposes Only’.
