What, they were out of Che Guevara costumes?

Hey kids, look! It's Alan Moore's favorite Halloween costume, now on sale at your local Target for $49.99! Now you too can dress up as everyone's favorite revolutionary/terrorist!



Wow. My brain still doesn't know how to process it. Although I'm fairly certain that, somewhere in England, Alan Moore is rolling over in his beard.

EDIT: I actually discovered that what I posted above it the super-deluxe version, which goes for about $150.00. The $50.00 "Deluxe" version is this:

BWAHAHAHAHAyou're not joking, are you?
My Target didn't have this (not that it would have fit, but still...!)

I'd read about it in Lying in the Gutters on comicbookresources.com, but it wasn't until I actually saw it at Bruce Variety in Bethesda yesterday. On the rack, I swear, right in between the "Mac Daddy" Pimp and the Superman muscle-chest costume.

(You know what the worst part about Halloween costumes is, Miiiister Hefnerrr?
The smell...>8)X)

I can believe it; I just don't want to.

Thing is, when you get one, do you say you're "V" or "Subject No. 5" or do you say "Guy Fawkes"...?

I'd say "Evey's Father," just to really fuck with 'em.

You know, I'm okay with some fan making their own V costume, but the thought of a mass-produced one is...hnn.

At least it's not kid-sized. Tell me that isn't a kid-sized costume.

I checked. I kinda wish they had, if only for the full surreal-ness of it all.

V is going to be the next Spider-Man of superhero Halloween costumes now. There will be V underpants and V footie-pajamas.

What I like the most is the throwing knives. We should give all children half a dozen or more throwing knives on Halloween and see what kind of fun happens.

Lastly, if I had a few thousand dollars to waste I would buy dozens of those costumes and pay people to wear them and have them all march through neighborhoods simultaneously. (no?)

So, I'm probably the last to hop on the bandwagon, but I jus saw this movie this week, and am thoroughly addicted. Wow. Love it. Really do.

Just sayin'.

PS: thank ou for coming to the show! It was so awesome to see you there, and nice to catch up. :-)

My god, girl! You need to read the comic, holy crap, yes you do!

The movie was about 75% faithful to the original book, and none of the other 25% was anywhere near as good as the original. Oh dear, please, it would mean a lot to me if you checked out the original. Alan Moore is the greatest comic writer alive, and actually one of the greatest writers alive period.

I can't tell you how happy this makes me.

Is it wrong I want to buy that and leave little Crosses of Lorraine all over Warner music? It is? Okay.

i think the only way that the intellectual property could be raped for Moore any further would be if Margaret Thatcher and GW Bush decided to wear this for halloween.
