(Problems with magnets links are fixed by upgrading your torrent client!)
To be clear, this is the entirety of "V for Vendetta" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wi... nah, on second thought, there's really no need for an expository link here, is there). The tale is organized by books and chapters as well as by issues, and both the former and the latter are occasionally designated as "volumes" (even within the text itself), which makes things a lot more confusing than they'd need to be. Be that as it may, this tripartite* approach is certainly the most organic, says I. Compiled from theProletariat's superb traditionally scanned 10-issue re-release ( http://piratebayproxy.live/torrent/7571137 ), and bookended with a couple of TPB covers and pinups which I discovered just now and which prompted me to post this. --- * Semanteme selected solely so as to satisfy STFmv's sesquipedalophilia - for sooth!

Repackaging previously released scans and distributing them as some new thing, is highly frowned upon by the scanning community.
I mean certainly folks are welcome to do with their downloads as they like for their own collecting purposes. But as a fellow distributor, I feel there is a responsibility to present the products of these scanner's hard work just as they were provided to us.
You laud the quality of theProletariat's work and seem to express appreciation, but then turn around and repackage and redistribute his work.
Take my words and criticism however you like, but I feel you're doing a disservice to the person putting forth the effort and hard work required to contribute these to the community as they are. My two cents. Feel free to message me in the forum if you'd like to continue this conversation. :)

For those who want them as they were originally released, you can find those here: https://piratebayproxy.live/torrent/7571137/V_for_Vendetta_(High_Quality_Scans)_(theProletariat-DCP)
thanks for the effort gesserit. @ RUBRUMPOP, some would frown upon any unauthorised scanning and distribution of these works. lighten up mate and get off your horse, it's not like your elitist heroes authored and illustrated this stuff. we appreciate their work, but hey lets keep it in perspective. kudos to scanners and uploaders.
All credit to the original creators! buy them (comics) when you can.

Thanks for contributing that angle, RP.
It's one which I had vaguely considered before, and then put aside again without having come to much of an opinion on its merits. Your post cleared up most of it.
On balance, I appreciate and even share the underlying ethos in a somewhat abstract manner, but not sufficiently so that it holds much practical weight as regards my modus operandi. I guess that sounds like borderline hypocrisy, but it's not meant that way. Simply put, a (subjectively) improved consumers' experience today trumps archival considerations for a decade from today, especially in light of the flood of digital back-issue releases over the last two years, due to which the availability of older scans has broadly and rapidly diminished in importance lately, in my perception.
Going out on a limb, one might even suggest that the continued widespread availability of older, lower-fidelity versions can constitute a problem in itself, once higher-fidelity versions are released, in as much as they slow the spread of those newer versions. Case in point - it's amazingly and irritatingly common for torrents of the earliest CAM versions of a movie to remain well-seeded long after the digital media rips surface, which clutters up the search results and presumably subtracts those seeders from far worthier swarms. And for comics releases, this is exacerbated by the fairly widespread practice of "de-cluttering" the filenames in ways which make them unidentifiable at first glance.
I shall keep your cautionary tale in the back of my mind, though! :)
Yes, i have seen great work lost. for instance 2000ad back covers from a decade ago.., i have the compiled stories sure, but promo art and the like like gone! my paper copies were water damaged( floods) so ... hope to see that image again one day, surely somebody scanned it.... also we use lan parties here due to poor internet coverage. cheers for your input.
The up is appreciated, but for the record, and contrary to the title description,
*** THIS IS NOT "HD" ***.
It's the same 1680 pixel scans from TheProletariat as previously released.
