David Lloyd is a British comic artist best known as the co-creator and illustrator of V for Vendetta (with writer Alan Moore, 1982–1989) — a dystopian serial whose Guy Fawkes mask has become one of the most widely recognised political icons of the twenty-first century. Lloyd’s work on the series established a mood-driven, high-contrast black-and-white style without traditional sound effects or thought balloons, a radical formal choice at the time.
