John,
This is from IMDB's 'V for Vendetta' entry, under 'trivia'.
"The original comic series was originally created by Alan Moore. However,
following his negative experience with From Hell (2001) and The League of
Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), Moore decided to reject all money and credit
from Hollywood on any adaptations of his work. Thus, he gave all the money
he would've gotten to the artist who drew the character with him, and
rejected his own "created by" credit from the film."
Indeed, there's not even a source material credit given to Alan Moore.
