About the series
In this two-issue series from DC, Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill assemble a team of iconic Victorian-era literary figures—characters like Mina Harker, Allan Quatermain, and Captain Nemo—to combat threats too strange for any single hero. Published from 2000 to 2003, the story reimagines these classic adventurers as a covert intelligence unit, blending pulp adventure with Moore's signature deconstruction of genre tropes. O'Neill's detailed, grotesque artwork perfectly complements the series' dark, revisionist take on 19th-century popular fiction, making it a landmark in the modern comics landscape for its ambitious literary mash-up.
