A
comic book publication released in the Year of Our Lord 2000 detailing the
exciting and
enlightening adventures of a group of note-worthy
citizens of the
British Empire during the reign of
Queen Victoria. Written by the
hirsute Alan Moore, capably
illustrated by the
dastardly Kevin O'Neill and
published by the
suspiciously-
colonial America's Best Comics, the
story concerns the exploits of the
independent Miss
Mina Murray, the
gallant Mr.
Allan Quatermain, the
Hindu pirate Captain Nemo (with the
Nautilus, his amazing
sub-marine ship), the invisible Mr.
Hawley Griffin, and the
meek Dr. Henry Jekyll (along with his compatriot the
beastly Edward Hyde) against the menace of the heathen
Dr. Fu Manchu and the devious crimelord
James Moriarty. The second volume of the series follows the League as they battle against uncivilized
hordes of
invaders from the planet
Mars!
As their adventures progress, our
noble heroes encounter many
notables of the day, including Monsieur
Auguste Dupin, Miss
Rosa Coote, Miss
Olive Chancellor, Miss
Rebecca Randall, Miss
Pollyanna Whittier, Professor
Selwyn Cavor, Mr.
Ishmael, Mr.
A. Dodger, Mr.
Mycroft Holmes,
Dr. Alphonse Moreau, and many others.
