I will admit now that I had never read this coomic before. I managed to secure a copy of this graphic novel from the Biblio.
Wow!
It is rare you come across something so breath-takingly original. Yes, the concept reads like a bad fanfic story, but it works. By dipping into characters that are familiar, yet distant, Moore is able to quickly build a mythos that we buy into. (I particularly enjoyed a panel with a previous incarnation of the League.)
The characters are rich and illustrations evoke the Victorian era. I love, love, love the litlle "tune in tomorrow" blurbs at the end of each episode. They are reminiscent of the penny dreadful novels of the Victorian era.
I have already requested number two. I am a fan.
