"V for Vendetta writer Alan Moore has addressed the use of the book&amp;#039;s Guy Fawkes mask by the Occupy movement. The acclaimed scribe told The Guardian that he feels as though the graphic novel&amp;#039;s protagonist has &amp;quot;escaped the realm of fiction&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I suppose when I was writing V for Vendetta I would in my secret heart of hearts have thought, &amp;#039;Wouldn&amp;#039;t it be great if these ideas actually made an impact?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; he said.  &amp;quot;So when you start to see that idle fantasy intrude on the regular world... it&amp;#039;s peculiar. It feels like a character I created 30 years ago has somehow escaped the realm of fiction.&amp;quot; Moore, however, distanced himself from the protesters, stating that he has &amp;quot;no particular connection or claim to what [they] are doing&amp;quot;. The writer added that the iconic masks have helped members of Occupy become &amp;quot;almost a single organism&amp;quot;. Frank Miller previously made the headlines with a controversial attack on Occupy made via his blog. The Batman: Year One scribe described the protestors as &amp;quot;thieves&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;rapists&amp;quot;. &amp;gt; MTV to air &amp;#039;True Life&amp;#039; documentary on Occupy Wall Street "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
