Long live Public Domain! 2
Alan Moore's League series was in the talks for years. Originally set as Simon Bisley do illustrate the series when it called "League of Extraordinary Gentlefolk", with its hiatus, Kevin O'Neill came with the name change.

Nothing Extraordinary About This 0
Alan Moore has been well known for a variety of different comic book works; perhaps you've heard of Watchmen, one of the most well known and popular DC comic outside of the Superman and Batman series. Yet, way back when, he also took it upon himself to pen this little number for the obscure America's Best Comics, which later was adapted into a movie. Yet, for all the hype this volume gets, I didn't find it all that great.At it's essence, this is one of those books where fairy tales are made a l...
