About the series
In 2002, Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill launched this six-issue DC series, a genre-bending adventure that assembles iconic Victorian-era literary figures into a covert team for the British Empire. The story reimagines characters like Mina Harker, Captain Nemo, and Dr. Jekyll as flawed, secret agents navigating a world of pulp adventure and dark intrigue. Moore's dense, clever plotting and O'Neill's detailed, grotesque artwork create a rich, satirical tapestry that deconstructs heroism and imperialism. Its inventive fusion of classic fiction and modern comics storytelling made it a landmark work, influencing a generation of genre-blending narratives.
