6 Libertarian Themed Comic Book Stories You MUST Read

1. V for Vendetta

Theme: Anarchy and Totalitarianism

The tale which inspired a successful cult classic film and an entire generation to don Guy Fawkes masks, “V for Vendetta” combines all the major issues that catapults the power of a fascist state, and how an entire population of people can be controlled through not simply the intimidation of the police state, but also that of the power of the media and uncontrollable cancer of fear and paranoia. The best review of the graphic novel from a libertarian view-point comes from the “Night-Watchman State” blog:

   “…By contemporizing the graphic novel’s fascistic themes into neoconservative ones. The film skillfully depicts the totalitarian dangers of the modern surveillance state and the libertarian Lockean theme of opposing a state that has lost its right to rule by oppressing the people it is meant to serve.”
