The DC Comics version published the artwork "colourised" in pastels . Lloyd has stated that he had always intended the artwork to appear in color, and that the initial publication in black and white occurred for financial reasons because color would have cost too much (although Warrior editor / publisher Dez Skinn expressed surprise at this information, as he had commissioned the strip in black and white and never intended Warrior to feature any interior color, irrespective of expense). </P> <P> In writing V for Vendetta, Moore drew upon an idea for a strip titled The Doll, which he had submitted in 1975 at the age of 22 to DC Thomson . In "Behind the Painted Smile", Moore revealed that the idea was rejected as DC Thomson balked at the idea of a "transsexual terrorist". </P> <P> Years later, Skinn reportedly invited Moore to create a dark mystery strip with artist David Lloyd . He actually asked David Lloyd to recreate something similar to their popular Marvel UK Night Raven strip, a story with an enigmatic masked vigilante set in the United States in the 1930s . Lloyd asked for writer Alan Moore to join him, and the setting developed through their discussions, moving from the 1930s United States to a near - future Britain . As the setting progressed, so did the character's development; once conceived as a "realistic" gangster - age version of Night - Raven, he became, first, a policeman rebelling against the totalitarian state he served, then a heroic anarchist . </P>
