The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Vol Iii): Century
Alan Moore
Synopsis "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Vol Iii): Century"
For the first time in paperback: the New York Times bestselling Century trilogy sees our famous fraternity of meta-fictional marauders romping across the modern age, blending countless strands of British culture into a thrilling tapestry. The nineteenth century, expiring with a flourish of Moriarty and Martians, has left the division of Military Intelligence commanded by Mina Murray in a state of disrepair. While she and her lover Allan Quatermain have achieved a measure of eternal youth, recruiting new talents such as the trans-gendered immortal Orlando, the ghost-finder Thomas Carnacki and the gentleman thief A.J. Raffles to replace their deceased or missing colleagues, former associate Captain Nemo has retired to his Pacific pirate island to decline in surly isolation. Now it is the early years of a new and unfamiliar century, and forces are emerging that appear to promise ruin for the Murray group, the nation and indeed the world, even were it to take a hundred years for this apocalyptic threat to come to its disastrous fruition. From the occult parlours and crime-haunted wharfs of 1910, through the criminal, mystical and psychedelic underworlds of 1969 to the financially and culturally desolated streets of 2009, the disintegrating remnants of Miss Murray and her League must combat not only the hidden hand of their undying adversary, but also the ethical and psychological collapse accompanying this new era. And a lot of things can happen in a CENTURY.
Alan Moore es quizás el escritor más aclamado en el medio de la historia gráfica, habiendo obtenido innumerables premios por obras como WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA, SWAMP THING y MIRACLEMAN. También es el cerebro detrás de la línea America's Best Comics, a través de la cual ha creado (junto con muchos ilustradores talentosos) LA LIGA DE CABALLEROS EXTRAORDINARIOS, PROMETHEA, TOM STRONG, TOMORROW STORIES y TOP TEN. Como uno de los innovadores más importantes del medio desde principios de la década de 1980, Moore ha influido en toda una generación de creadores de cómics, y su trabajo continúa inspirando a una audiencia cada vez mayor.
