Description
A rousing work of adventure by the esteemed author of FROM HELL and the acclaimed illustrator of MARSHALL LAW. London, 1898. The Victorian Era draws to a close and the twentieth century approaches. It is a time of great change and an age of stanation, a period of chaste order and ignoble chaos. It is an era in need of champions. Allan Quartermain, Captain Nemo, Hawley Griffin, Dr. Henry Jekyll. Mr. Edward Hyde, and Mina Murray are those champions, and together they comprise the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Recruited by the enigmatic Campion Bond, under orders from the mysterious "M," these six adventurers are pressed into service by their empire in its time of need. Now they must face the nefarious Doctor and his vile plan for world domination. But things are not entirely as they seem; other factors, cryptic and corpuscular, are also at play. A remarkable drama ensues.
