The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier -- The Absolute Edition #[nn]

Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's sprawling literary adventure gets the deluxe treatment in this 2008 Absolute Edition of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier. Kevin O'Neill's cover is a richly layered collage of figures — a glamorous blonde woman, a mysterious caped figure, a distinguished elderly gentleman, a red-scarfed dark-haired woman, and glimpses of a double-decker bus, a biplane, and a serpentine creature weaving through it all. It's a fitting showcase for a story steeped in the texture of literary history, presented here in a premium format that gives O'Neill's intricate, densely detailed artwork the generous space it deserves.
