A review by stevenyenzer
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1 by Alan Moore
2.0
I didn't find the story or the characters particularly engrossing. The concept of a team of historical extraordinaires was the most interesting part, but there were too many offensive elements to overcome.
For example, the artist portrays the Egyptian and Chinese characters in the most repellent stereotypical ways. I know the series is meant to evoke Victorian sensibilities, but seeing the toothless minorities being gruesomely murdered on every other page was just too much.
