A review by dantastic
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1 by Alan Moore
4.0
When a piece of Cavorite goes missing, Campion Bond recruits Mina Murray, Alan Quartermain, Captain Nemo, the Invisible Man, and Dr. Jekyll to get it back...
I was on my way out of comics when this was originally coming out so I missed it and the movie didn't make me want to track it down. I got the first four trades on Shopgoodwill for cheap so here we are.
This is a love letter to the adventure heroes of the late 1800s/early 1900s. It's action packed and has some humorous moments. It also shows that Alan Moore could write an adventure yarn with the best of them when he wasn't busy being a curmudgeonly old warlock. My one gripe with the book is that sometimes, I didn't feel like the art fit the tone of the story.
I can't decide if Alan Moore is a great writer or just writes exactly the stories I want to read. Either way, this was good shit.
