De Liga van Buitengewone Heren Reeks
Deze serie herinterpreteert klassieke literaire figuren uit het Victoriaanse Engeland en brengt ze samen in een eliteteam dat is belast met het verdedigen tegen bovennatuurlijke dreigingen en grote complotten. Iconische personages zoals Kapitein Nemo, de Onzichtbare Man en Dr. Jekyll ondernemen gevaarlijke missies door een alternatief Groot-Brittannië en daarbuiten. Het is een boeiende mix van avontuur, mysterie en alternatieve geschiedenis die bekende verhalen tot iets buitengewoons verdraait.

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 crime-haunted wharfs of 1910, through the criminal, mystical underworlds of 1969 to the desolated streets of 2009, the 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 the new era.
"From the ruins of Ayesha's Kor to the domed cities of a devastated 30th Century, from the eye-wrenching 3-D vistas of the Blazing World to an artificial sun in the Oort Cloud, the myriad players of this planet's integrated fictions lead their twenty-year long dance to its spectacular conclusion. In this final comic work from Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill, prepare to to look on as the histroy of comic books, culture and everything you knew is swallowed up wholesale by THE TEMPEST."--Provided by publisher

The apocalyptic climax of the third and most ambitious volume to contain the League's unfolding narrative, CENTURY: 2009 turns its scrutiny of the entire fictional landscape to the presently uproarious era as it hurtles to a staggering conclusion that even immortal champions may not survive. The eternal ambiguity Orlando is returned to an unrecognisable contemporary London and a collapsing world of moral, social and financial destitution.
