Extraordinary Gentlemen

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008 – running time 24:07

Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a phenomenal series unlike any other. The iFanboy team lets you know all about the book, and Josh talks to series artist Kevin O'Neill about his work on the series.

Take several British adventure story characters from the late 19th century, mix them with the great mind in comic book writing, and an exemplary artist, and you get The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Fans have waited a long time since Volume 2 came out, and were recently treated with the release of The Black Dossier, continuing the story of the mysterious team of adventurers.

As always, iFanboy lets you know what's so good about this book, as well as the basic backgrounds of the characters used and where they come from. There are few books so perfectly tailored to Conor's particular tastes, and despite a downright horrible movie, the guys won't let you miss out on this fantastic bit of storytelling. How could you not want a story with Mr. Hyde, The Invisible Man, and Captain Nemo? Then, it's off to Jim Hanley's Universe in Manhattan, where Josh talks to Kevin O'Neill about his career as an artist, his work on League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and what it's really like to be the recipient of a giant script from Alan Moore.

Get ready for some fun, Victorian style. Harumph!
