From 1910 to 2009, Volume Three spans an entire century, but that may not be enough time for the League to defeat their newest threat. Alan Moore and Kevin O''Neill''s pulp adventure literary mash-up returns. The nineteenth century, expiring with a flourish of Moriarty and Martians, has left the Division of Military Intelligence commanded by Mina Murray in a state of disrepair. While she and her lover, Allan Quatermain, have achieved a measure of eternal youth and recruited new talents such as the trans-gendered immortal Orlando, the ghost-finder Thomas Carnacki, and the gentleman thief A.J. Raffles to replace their deceased or missing colleagues, former associate Captain Nemo has retired to his Pacific pirate island to decline in surly isolation. Now it is the early years of a new and unfamiliar century, and forces are emerging that appear to promise ruin for the Murray group, the nation, and, indeed, the world, even if it will take a hundred years for this apocalyptic threat to come to its disastrous fruition. From the occult parlours and crime-haunted wharfs of 1910, through the criminal, mystical, and psychedelic underworlds of 1969, to the financially and culturally desolated streets of 2009, the disintegrating remnants of Miss Murray and her League must combat not only the hidden hand of their undying adversary, but also the ethical and psychological collapse accompanying this new era. And a lot of things can happen in a CENTURY!

H. P. Lovecraft hat das Horror-Genre bis heute geprägt. Allerdings setzt man sich kritischer denn je mit dem Autor aus Providence auseinander, der den kosmischen Schrecken entfesselte. Comic-Legende Alan Moore (WATCHMEN, From Hell) zerlegt so etwa Lovecrafts Zeit, Leben und Cthulhu-Mythos, um daraus etwas völlig Neues zu machen: erotischen Pulp-Horror ebenso wie eine intelligente, gehaltvolle Meta-Reise in jene Abgründe, die übersinnliche Monster und ignorante Menschen gleichermaßen erschaffen. Moores viel beachtete Lovecraft-Neuinterpretation erscheint in zwei edlen Hardcovern und ist ein anspruchsvolles Genre-Meisterwerk.

Dennis has stumbled on a book from the Great When, a magical version of London beyond time and space, where reality blurs with fiction and concepts such as Crime and Poetry are incarnated as wondrous, terrible beings. But this other, magical London must remain a secret: if Dennis cannot find a way to return this book to where it belongs, he risks facing gruesome and grave repercussions. So begins a journey delving deep into the city''s occult underbelly and tarrying with an eccentric cast of sorcerers, gangsters, and murderers – some from legend, some frighteningly real, and all with plans of their own.

Ten years in the making, comes a literary work Like no other, from the legendary author of Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and From Hell. In the half a square mile of decay and demolition that was England’s Saxon capital, eternity is loitering between the firetrap housing projects. Embedded in the grubby amber of the district’s narrative among its saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts a different kind of human time is happening, a soiled simultaneity that does not differentiate between the petrolcolored puddles and the fractured dreams of those who navigate them. Fiends last mentioned in the second-century Book of Tobit wait in urine-scented stairwells, the delinquent specters of unlucky children undermine a century with tunnels, and in upstairs parlors laborers with golden blood reduce fate to a snooker tournament. An opulent mythology for those without a pot to piss in, through the labyrinthine streets and pages of Jerusalem tread ghosts that sing of wealth and poverty; of Africa, and hymns, and our threadbare millennium. They discuss English as a visionary language from John Bunyan to James Joyce, hold forth on the illusion of mortality post-Einstein, and insist upon the meanest slum as Blake’s eternal holy city. Fierce in its imagining and stupefying in its scope, Alan Moore’s epic novel, Jerusalem, is the tale of Everything, told from a vanished gutter.

Batman and Robin must hunt down the most unexpected menace of all as it stalks the city by night! Plus, the conclusion of the Green Arrow/Black Canary backup tale by the legendary Alan Moore.

Esta vez nos trasladamos a 1925. Han pasado 15 largos años desde que Janni Dakkar intentara porprimera vez escapar del legado de su moribundo padre (científico y pirata por igual): asumir su destino como el nuevo Nemo, capitán del legendario Nautilus. Ahora, agotada de la interminable juerga de saqueo y destrucción, Janni emprende una gran expedición para lograr una meta que su padre no pudo obtener: explorar la Antártida. Tras su pista irán un tríode geniales inventores, contratados por un influyente magnate del sector editorial para restaurar los tesoros expoliados a una reina africana. Será una carrera mortal hacia el último rincón de la Tierrra, un lugar indómito lleno de maravillas y horrores donde el tiempo está roto y las montañas te llevan a la locura. Una mezcla de Julio Verne más H.P Lovecraft en este final inolvidable, perdido en el palpitante, vívido y espantosamente inhumano corazón de hielo.

Like something from an unbelievable parallel world where there were once comic publications exclusively for girls, this third jaw-dropping installment of Moore and O''Neill''s astonishing swan-song takes us from a boarding school in Big Brother-dominated England to a civic ball with a Frankenstein monster in Toyland, pausing for some 1960s pop-art espionage and a breath-taking musical interlude along the way. Concluding with a demonstration of an unusual nuclear defense system (for which the reader will require 3-D spectacles) and containing Seven Stars classic "Showdown in Space," you dare not miss issue three of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. IV: The Tempest.

"For 25 years The Spider, Grimly Feendish, The Steel Claw, Robot Archie, and scores of other bizarre creations from the hallowed IPC vaults have been missing. Where have they been? And why, after all this time have they suddenly reappeared?"-- p. [4] of cover.

England in the mid-1950s is not the same as it was. The powers that be have instituted some changes. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen have been disbanded and disavowed, and the country is under the control of an iron-fisted regime. Now, after many years, the still youthful Mina Murray and a rejuvenated Allan Quatermain return in search of some answers - answers that can only be found in a book buried deep in the vaults of their old headquarters - a book that holds the key to the hidden history of the League throughout the ages: The Black Dossier.

Can pornography be art? Can an erotic graphic novel have literary merit? Can both men and women enjoy explicit images? Moore and Gebbie set out to answer these difficult and ambitious questions in Lost Girls, a 240-page fully painted story that has been in the works for over a decade. Like he did in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Moore revisits characters from Victorian fiction, this time children''s literature. The three protagonists are fictitiously based on the familiar faces from Wonderland, Oz, and Neverland, who meet as grown women in a mysterious hotel in 1913 England. There, they embark on a journey through an erotic fantasy world of their own conjuring, all rendered in Gebbie''s beautifully painted, full-color art.
