Alan Moore

London, 1898. The Victorian Era draws to a close and the twentieth century approaches. It is a time of great change and an age of stagnation, a period of chaste order and ignoble chaos. It is an era in need of champions.

In this amazingly imaginative tale, literary figures from throughout time and various bodies of work are brought together to face any and all threats to Britain. Allan Quatermain, Mina Murray, Captain Nemo, Dr. Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde and Hawley Griffin, the Invisible Man, form a remarkable legion of intellectual aptitude and physical prowess: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

The Battle of Blood and Ink: A Fable of the Flying City

★ 3.16

Jared Axelrod

If you're visiting the flying city of Amperstam without the latest printing of The Lurker's Guide, you might as well be lost. This one-sheet is written, edited, and printed by Ashe, a girl raised on the streets of the flying city, and is dedicated to revealing its hidden treasures and deepest secrets—including many that the overcontrolling government doesn't want anyone to know. The stakes are raised when Ashe accidentally uncovers the horror of exactly how Amperstam travels among the skies and garners the attention of those who would rather that secret be kept in the hands of the city's powerful leaders.

Soon Ashe is on the run from thugs and assassins, faced with the choice of imperiling her life just to keep publishing, or giving in to the suggestion of a rich patron that she trade in her voice and identity for a quiet, comfortable life. It's a war of confusion for Ashe, but in The Battle of Blood and Ink by Jared Axelrod, one thing is very clear: just because you live in a flying city, you can't always keep your head in the clouds.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Nemo, Corazón de hielo

★ 3.44

Alan Moore

Esta vez nos trasladamos a 1925. Han pasado 15 largos años desde que Janni Dakkar intentara por primera 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 trío de 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 Tierra, 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.
Alan Moore es uno de los motores creativos más importantes de la historia de los cómics. Sus innovadores trabajos, V de Vendetta, Watchmen o From Hell, se han convertido en piezas imperecederas del paisaje cultural contemporáneo.

Watchmen

★ 4.39

Alan Moore

Watchmen, the groundbreaking series from award-winning author Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, presents a world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history—the U.S. won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president, and the Cold War is in full effect.

Considered the greatest graphic novel in the history of the medium, the Hugo Award-winning story chronicles the fall from grace of a group of superheroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the superhero is dissected as an unknown assassin stalks the erstwhile heroes.
