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!

" But her majesty's -- it but I recently read a quote about -- we just found it fascinating was the columnist congressman Stephen grant wrote that. Leader -- element but the best tactic. It truly is just an experience perfect but it site super high quality sadness visible through all of its audits. On -- and basically The Beatles team right they do and it's kind of rollicking high adventure. It's a little bit because he plays Victorian England. It's a little bit of a satire that time the bomb was -- three volumes the first volume. We get together sponsored first volume but it's generally excellent additions which is really millennia have added veteran as second volume. When did this this -- meets the various ministers and bypasses your thoughts today. Christopher DiFrancesco was third party -- the world's -- awesome channel eleven mrs.

" This is an appointment times -- note -- note forget the freaking movie. Yet that that that well. Dwell on it just just trusted incarceration and if you always note from -- forgive the forgive you because African it was terrible yet they changed a lot of the stuff and so I don't know all of that Sean Connery movies people quit traffic because of this movie we don't get Sean Connery into Indiana Jones movie wow. He quit -- where he won't he won't go back and movies so in fact I want to. We're bringing movies and I'm -- into -- him -- it -- film -- this and it was so awful and forget -- we're doing grant us a bit more."
" This what I have all the kind of movies that are cop bad cop -- this is the that's the one that I think is on the most injustice because I think you'll stop people reading what are. Stupendous comic book you remember the load like you have extraordinary gentlemen it was like Julie's dad are all like -- from. Well anyway -- businesses for going all that and going and reading these again for the first time in quite a few years I was. As I often -- without more stuff. You see him building all the stuff that shows up later volumes he's there's stuff for the beginning of the first book that pays off in the second volume stuff. And he he's building these complex things."
" More than anyway he pays off a separate. News -- you read to be really sort through he put it away and look at again but if you renowned horse stories second. Third time you see the threat you see all of those things happen in third book that was enough on the first page the first first then they would not -- the first time through. These are books you can enjoy over and over -- about the mail that was great about this for me is is that more parties in the first saw it. And at a time I had just finished reading it every -- homes -- what's on -- revolt. And the death -- distraught Holmes is in this book you know that's that's that's word -- word -- secrecy in the same and we love the novel.

To me that's cool awesome my good news if you if you're a book -- plastics were ministers are great but you're not -- also --"
" Right. This is the latest book the black -- that just came out. But what firmer. It's a little bit basically the whole what's up around more than a dozen or DC anymore so therefore while storm comics which -- the next best comics. Is and then to polish his work more of contractually -- strong put this on our. Last on the next one comes doesn't come off tough comments he's an analyst with them because of hospitals. This book basically takes the characters. I don't get too much away because it's relatively new. Yeah like it's a little bit of miscommunication characters forward fifty years for album guard this book. Who is not the typical oh right well. -- basically there's -- dossier on the lead which has apparently existed in various incarnations throughout the years. Mom and you don't know exactly who -- who cared for -- being here following and that's revealed. But we're in nineteen. Fifty to 54 and they're going after try to find dossier and find out more about who they are and the people who are part of it before new characters are introduced from literature. But where is he's a straight comic book narratives this actually has excerpts. Of the dossier. Which are sometimes text sometimes illustrations. The papers changes. It's really have a little fun fact the whole three sections -- comes with a -- I didn't really realize that I was a little -- Why don't call -- Not far and away the headache the a thumb. Yeah so far -- that is for the because -- fairness uses a lot of arrows in the lot you know it's very compelling though. It's adult. That's he's he's definitely the these -- toys for kids which is actually for me to benefit of them because then you can you can forward if he wanted to explore. Highly recommend."

Compact not Thompson's future power book years -- on. The reason he's saying that is because they have audio presentations of these he's 52 and infinite crisis. As well as fifteen other series they have going and 300 action adventure and -- titles that are available that's great catching up on books are in an analyst -- region one because a lot of issues.

" Aren't really I'm actually at first it throws me because it's not really what I expect to see activity comes from from from British comics -- he did some eastern where we see in the -- known for having very. Violence -- violent things. And it really grows on -- because. At first it seems cartoon need simplistic and they start looking at the page and you realize that they are. Just the drugs -- dense as the Scripps yes -- crammed -- like the focus goes back and just. He just beautiful one page spreads and and and just in detail and stuff and the research that's gone into it. These characters all have a look even invisible man. Look and I don't know how you do that. You know because invisible that is a man as a kind of the scoundrel from the team and he's he's you know. His ending -- yes. One of the greatest like pages of of the use of the comic book art. -- us."
" These are like news -- all time great comments here it is this is this is what. I did it is extraordinary but I give his post abortion who are what you read but. Don't take our work for a particular halt Kevin O'Neill about his art house and his -- really sit down more and and these books as the Norton so."

Now it did did that happen -- I mean did you find it limiting or or no he isn't is galvanize them -- these are very very detailed scripts balanced. About a -- more to suddenly start affront to we know that's -- it's exhausting just look at it and you know -- the watchman scripting. -- mean -- initial reaction is seen as very controlling. But thought -- but don't see it when that. But lost money among a facility in the year after finishing. What are assembled at all in one place the very first time and it was it was like -- it's a telephone directory of the things among stuff.

Forms for -- always work and units on fat unraveled as we see ounces. Completely ignore his directions and it's just taken out of a story in some weird way. -- His perspective is so important on the visual was. Did you find that when you first would get scripts aren't there are certain women as you've got going and working further along they would they would shifting give you a little more -- we were like after you discomfort which we are going well I'm uncertain thing could -- for deployment in the we saw you in the Bundestag opposite. If you see a different way of doing it being put -- in the Scripps exit from way of doing it. Or you know you want to -- and all the way please god hates and I think -- he changed. Two panels. And cross. 300 pages initially. And first one -- on the second Marty saves you -- a panel that's what it was I don't Canseco now. And looks him in his Ryan -- a closeup look on the something in in the fight sequence. It didn't work is -- thing I don't know what communal rights. And no one really -- up over but -- needs. In Tacoma blundering intrusion and downs ups of Iraq -- of monogamy is me is much much in the puts him clutching his -- What conclusions. Who's testing my limits as -- because -- stopped -- you know. On that before heavy interest in him so. -- Like when you're working on the book does a lot of memorable things -- what what what sort of that is there like sequence that you really enjoyed drawing or their characters that you especially like doing main ending -- my -- and I think the scene. Missing when meanest so can second what means so can some stuff on its in attacking. Opposite the martian sand and it's it's a sort of mr. -- functional room. And it's terrifying causing -- to threaten his voice and -- zydeco anything. There's nothing happening that is to people -- opposite each of his his views rewritten I'm pretty neutral drawing it and you know we both like -- office sequence no such thing as it was as Wisconsin stuff on. Client who consume these oh penalty is death that that was clearly is supplying -- missed the point is that many cynical -- missive. -- that's wrong it and then you know he's speaking -- for -- until this monstrous strength. These this raging you won't poison in him so we're sequences are fantastic and -- stuff we Nina having. This man attacking -- in -- subsequent boot sequence. But what above the call from the resuming a sings of the issue for the loans and I'm not doing -- colorful very comfortable -- was the -- On the black dolce and it was there random sequence -- huge huge amount of phone and the Greg from his stall for. -- People and so that that was really cool -- atmospherics. So what he's written this but the we haven't seen as a horror. Okay well we've we've John's forward so some sixty years. Ands. But don't see on the evening -- stolen. There was a lot of that back history there was Cia. History to Orlando concert becomes very important in the future. And it's has lots of thumb. As we say in 1958. We -- talking about what boys fifties to Allison in the book is curious thing with. The American fifties very glamorous the British fifties the -- slightly rationing and that whole room growing big grin. Lots of interest in Jones stuff was happening then. And it's over just chatting to a three to the treaty was up fifties interest in gimmicky fifties thing. But wants to do with different -- 3-D and a book when it comes read it you'll find the tax -- colossus on appointments and crosses has included in the book. And it's deceive the blazing world -- those factors blazing wrote a story driven as it's quite important because we were well aware of treaties. Purely picture driven Vista you know and you kind of -- will be sort of the -- That was challenge in his interest in -- these over the inclusion of Fanny who sectional and took -- who would -- like at the turn of the century portfolio of so we didn't -- spoke with who liked it took on -- British T want to Bible -- book I don't treat maintenance that was good. Is it is it's a but it almost everything is as much as we could humanly do perform exits stop doing it is the book was just growing and growing it grew from -- 48 page. Project just a -- in projects between two speak. Project which has taken longer with the students and it's it must go pretty good -- to have it sort of they liked on the shelf now -- it's weird Tom thumb. Opting PCI did will be -- What's on stallion and extend Hastings to. Get reaction -- we doing this token between themselves you know we have no idea -- anyone else thinks about it outside of the -- And so we're saying. So and the Khatami and we hope for people like it we think we think they will. And no matter what. People think of my stuff is it's just the script is stunningly -- written so it can. And it's so many different style was mesmerizing as -- as a I think Shakespeare play or sectional in the book. Which is mesmerizing and it's just this woman squeezed his kimono language -- this is his arms -- solutions. Missing some impetus. You can ask you. Do you find that like the movie as it was. Negatively affected how people perceive the book I mean you think that the endurance back that you could filming the wrong place and you ended. A Doctor -- and it was an accident atmosphere around all the comic book movies you've been poorly received tango for instance. Come comes -- which which is unfortunate. I think if you're putting units on its it was going to be radically different social call removing. -- on this story coming -- is -- percent. It was like China sexually offending us and with as events -- and I -- books of threw me on the flow you know that this that they are doing their thing they've taken a basic taxes. And they're running with it. It is sings upset a lot of people would see some people in accounts saying -- wish we -- on this because it. -- give this woman mean it would not to don't know under which would it work well. Apparently have the -- who wasn't big enough for Sean Connery movie cost of these -- remove any integrated speaks -- and the new to us is ridiculous enough for us and it just. This is a skyscraper from needs to make any any and makes no sense in -- and so. October ebonics -- friends on the on the on the movies technical people stay in touch with but there and you will it son. Most of that sanctions uphold now -- you know or even months of trial model -- man who's used to think -- Did -- not exclude from what she's not an excellent -- isn't as -- Kato fan so. You know they code that's mine that's my feeling about -- may be preachers -- started to orbit do you find that com. Liquid when you meet people who talk about this but do you do you feel like they knew the character's already or you do you feel like you're the one who's introducing them to a lot of these characters and to blow up for me -- accident -- Very big audience in in Britain. And some sort holdings in America because he's -- courts and they even under those. We've trained in movies most people when they're cool Salinas and and -- taxes -- what I -- and what most people familiar with. You picks up very very quickly and so -- either that but generally people learn captioning on this Disney movies some things. They have not given duty and his -- man is something ghastly people go and check out tax protesters did some reading and a more. Difficult taxes and all -- things are mentioning policy seems there's a track we interest of people around looking people. -- And says only -- beginning this is. We can set out to do a Victorian avenge resort to Sicily. But these tracks is very much effect seats in the 1930s and forties superheroes and thinks the Pope Pope parent has. And Austin you know from my interest in British penny dreadful -- that. There is this kind of thumb. Family connection between them with things we like completely in the packet -- cost and -- over Jerusalem and actually rose as much as anyone that's went Pope began. Thank you very much appreciate it's fantastic book into two basic things."
" Josh your hair metal mom I didn't quite take that extra yeah that you can see these fans are under water with during the he's come out of the water here is what a lot of recruitment.
