The volume reprints the complete adventures of Mina Murray, Allan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, and the Invisible Man as they battle threats across Victorian-era literature and history. Published by DC under its America's Best Comics imprint, this edition also includes extensive supplementary materials like the detailed fictional travelogue and annotations that enrich the series' dense tapestry of literary references.
"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Omnibus Edition #1: Empire Dreams" delivers a thrilling, steampunk-infused adventure from Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill, where the League ascends in the airship Victoria to confront Moriarty’s assault on Limehouse. With Nemo and Mr. Hyde battling aboard, Miss Murray and Quatermain work to disable the ship’s cavorite, while the skies fill with a fleet of balloons and kites—each a testament to Victorian ingenuity. The story culminates in a dramatic standoff as Mycroft Holmes formally enlists the League, and the sky erupts in fire, leaving the future uncertain. Cover by Kevin O'Neill.
In "2: Ghosts & Miracles," Wilhelmina Murray, Allan Quatermain, and Captain Nemo pursue a trail of shadows and secrets, culminating in the capture of Edward Hyde. Their mission leads them to Miss Coote's Academy for Wayward Gentlewomen, where they confront the elusive and dangerous Hawley Griffin—whose invisibility proves as much a curse as a weapon.
In a tale weaving mystery and adventure through the shadows of the East, Wilhelmina Murray and Allan Quatermain follow a cryptic clue from Quong Lee—“the waters lap beneath the heavenly bridge. The dragon sleeps below the waters”—leading them into a hidden chunnel where they uncover a breathtaking, forgotten aircraft. Meanwhile, Dr. Jekyll and Captain Nemo track the elusive Ho Ling, while the mysterious Doctor makes his presence known in the shifting corridors of intrigue.
In the shadowed depths of a forgotten tunnel beneath the Thames, a desperate escape unfolds as Allan Quatermain, guided by the wits of Wilhelmina Murray and the cunning of Captain Nemo, races against time to secure the cavorite. With Hawley Griffin creating a diversion and Edward Hyde testing the limits of his own transformation, the group must navigate treacherous corridors and the relentless pursuit of The Doctor’s guards. When the moment comes, Mina’s courage and the device’s power will lift them all toward the surface—only to deliver the cavorite into the hands of the enigmatic James Moriarty, whose true intentions remain as deep and dark as the river itself.
In "5: Some Deep, Organizing Power...", Hawley Griffin races against time to stop James Moriarty from unleashing a devastating airship powered by cavorite, threatening not only Dr. Henry Jekyll and Limehouse but also Captain Nemo’s Nautilus. With alliances shifting and old enemies converging, the fate of the League hangs in the balance as secrets buried beneath the surface begin to rise.
In "6: The Day of Be-With-Us," James Moriarty's sudden assault on Limehouse forces the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen into the skies aboard the Victoria, where Captain Nemo and Mr. Hyde clash with Moriarty’s forces while Wilhelmina Murray and Allan Quatermain work to disable the ship’s cavorite core. As motorized kites and balloons swarm the heavens, the tension mounts—until Mycroft Holmes formally enlists the League, and a fiery descent from above signals an unknown threat.
