About the series
In this short but potent 2002–2004 series from DC, writer Alan Moore and artist Kevin O'Neill assemble a Victorian-era team of literary figures—including Mina Harker, Allan Quatermain, and Dr. Jekyll—as a covert government force. Over two oversized issues, the creators reimagine classic adventure and horror characters in a gritty, meticulously researched world, blending pulp thrills with Moore's characteristic deconstruction of genre. The series matters as a landmark fusion of literary homage and comics storytelling, launching a cult-favorite universe that would expand across later volumes.
