V for Vendetta illustrator interview.

ComicsAlliance interview; Anonymous gets a brief thumbs up:

As a loose collective of so-called "hackers" labeled Anonymous continues to cause mostly harmless chaos around the Internet, a symbol born from Alan Moore and David Lloyd's graphic novel V for Vendetta has become synonymous with the cause of radical transparency online. The Guy Fawkes-style mask worn by the character V was first used by Anonymous as way to publicly protest what they saw as the harmful indoctrination of Scientology, but has since evolved to encompass an entire movement that is as seemingly diverse as it is secretive. We decided to dig in to what the movement is trying to accomplish, as well as what creator Alan Moore thinks about the hacktivist group. ComicsAlliance also reached out to artist David Lloyd to find out how he feels about the graphic novelbeing associated with Anonymous.

CA: What does it feel like to have been part of creating a character that, years later, still stands as a symbol of rebellion?
DL: Good.

CA: Do you have any opinion of what the group labeled as 'Anonymous' is doing?

DL: They seem to be resisting oppression the best way they know how. I haven't enough knowledge of them to offer view of greater value.
