About this Collection

This massive omnibus collects the first two story arcs of Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's genre-mashing series, bringing together the original League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and its sequel, Volume II: The New Traveller's Almanac. The volume reprints the complete adventures of Mina Murray, Allan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, and the Invisible Man as they battle threats across Victorian-era literature and history. Published by DC under its America's Best Comics imprint, this edition also includes extensive supplementary materials like the detailed fictional travelogue and annotations that enrich the series' dense tapestry of literary references.

"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Omnibus Edition #1: Empire Dreams" delivers a thrilling, steampunk-infused adventure from Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill, where the League ascends in the airship Victoria to confront Moriarty’s assault on Limehouse. With Nemo and Mr. Hyde battling aboard, Miss Murray and Quatermain work to disable the ship’s cavorite, while the skies fill with a fleet of balloons and kites—each a testament to Victorian ingenuity. The story culminates in a dramatic standoff as Mycroft Holmes formally enlists the League, and the sky erupts in fire, leaving the future uncertain. Cover by Kevin O'Neill.
