The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen – Vol. II, #1
Share:
Writer Alan Moore and artist Kevin
O’Neil return to the iconic characters of yesteryear they first explored in
Volume One of this series with a smashing introduction/set-up issue the
surprising answers the question of why the Martians from War of the
Worlds attacked Earth in the first place.
In the first volume of the
series, Moore and O’Neil took a highly eleclectic mix of characters – Robert
Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll (and his other self, Mr. Hyde) Minna Murray (or
Mina Harker) from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Jules Verne’s Captain Nemo
(portrayed as grim Sikh his author originally conceived), Hawley Griffin, who
known but not seen in H.G. Well’s The Invisible Man, and Allan
Quartermain, H. Rider Haggard’s daring adventurer – and crafted them into an
adventurous team of pre-mystery men set in 1898. Now they’re back, and you won’t
want to miss ride.
