In this graphic novel by Alan Moore, creator of Watchmen, a strong willed woman with a mysterious past, an ex-adventurer with an opium habit, a psychopathic invisible man–all report to a man named Bond, who works for a mysterious “M”.

Mayhem soon follows. There are more favorite Victorian characters here than you can shake a stick at. Not only is it fun to read, but it also makes me want to have another go at the source material. It was this series that first spurred me to tackle Gulliver’s Travels, Wells’ Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and more. I enjoyed the series, and it made me eager to read more, and to learn more. Not many books can do that, eh? ( )

Typical generic comic adventure. Different characters same plot. ( )

SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE MOVIE!!!!! Really enjoyed the story, graphics and flow. Looking forward to purchasing Vol.2! ( )

Less than entertaining. ( )

This is definitely one of the more successful of Alan Moore's ventures, and the icing on the cake this time around is the fact that Kevin O'Neill is a highly capable artist - in so many another context, Moore's interesting narrative ideas are practically sunk by the work of makeweight illustrators. Beyond that observation, the main thing to note about The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is the wonderful inventiveness of the tale and the giddy re-appropriation of nineteenth century fictional characters aplenty which provides an excellent platform for some wild adventures and some truly beautiful drawings by O'Neill. There's no doubt about it - when Alan Moore is paired up with an artist who is capable of bringing his visions to life, the results are thoroughly rewarding. ( )
