The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by Alan Moore and artist Kevin O’Neill brings together characters from Victorian literature as a secret team protecting the British Empire. First published in 1999, the series is a showcase for Moore’s dense, allusion-filled storytelling.
The original team includes Mina Harker from Dracula, Captain Nemo from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, the Invisible Man, Allan Quatermain from King Solomon’s Mines, and Dr. Jekyll. They face threats drawn from the literature of the era.
The series expanded beyond Victoria’s reign in later volumes, incorporating characters and settings from across literary history.
