About this Collection

This volume collects the first story arc of Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's series, reimagining classic Victorian literary figures as a covert team assembled by Campion Bond. Mina Murray, Captain Nemo, Allan Quatermain, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the Invisible Man are forced to work together against a threat to the British Empire, with Auguste Dupin also appearing. The collection includes the original six-issue miniseries, setting the stage for the team's subsequent adventures in a meticulously researched alternate history.

"1: Empire Dreams" launches the groundbreaking The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill’s masterful blend of Victorian pulp and literary homage. As the League ascends in the balloon Victoria to confront Moriarty’s assault on Limehouse, a sky full of kites and balloons carries the fight into the clouds, setting a tone of daring and invention. Kevin O'Neill’s dynamic art, with contributions from Lawrence Berry on the cover, brings this steampunk spectacle to life in bold, textured detail.
