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 and are 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. As Allan and Mina delve into the details of their precursors, some dating back centuries, they must elude their dangerous pursuers who are Hell-bent on retrieving the lost manuscript... and ending the League once and for all.

Is Billy Bunter really Big Brother

Even if you haven't read the 101 novels, plays and pulp magazines referenced in this thrilling roller coaster action adventure, you'll still love it. It's high speed chase through 1950's England climaxing at the 3D top of the world, punctuated by extracts from the fabled Black Dossier - The book about all the previous Leagues of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Is that James Bond? Is that Emma Peel? Has Billy Bunter grown up and become George Orwells Big Brother? You Decide.

Ehh

I felt the graphic novel was a tad boring, not only in story but visually.

Good story, with reservations

I enjoyed the latest edition of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The overall story held my attention and there were lots of interesting twists to the plot. The Fanny Hill porno insert added nothing to the story and should have been left out. The final chapter is in 3D, very innovative.
