 The first episodes of "V for Vendetta" appeared in black-and-white between 1982 and 1985, in "Warrior", a British anthology comic published by Quality Communications.The strip was one of the least popular in that title; editor/publisher Dez Skinn remarked, "If I'd have given each character their own title, the failures would have certainly outweighed the successes, with the uncompromising 'V for Vendetta' probably being an early casualty.But with five or six strips an issue, regular [readers] only needed two or three favorites to justify their buying the title."
