Recommended reading order
So how do you finally read this League … ? As I wrote – many times. It’s best not to get crushed the first time and read the albums in an order that is a compromise between the order in which individual parts are published and the chronology of events in the world presented. My proposal looks like this:
- League of Extraordinary Gentlemen , vol. 1 (2nd edition)
- League of Extraordinary Gentlemen , vol. 2 (2nd edition)
- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen . Centenary – 1910
- Nemo. Heart of ice
- Nemo. Berlin roses
- Nemo. The river of ghosts
- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen . Black files
- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen . Centenary – Subjects of the Moon , 1969 , 2009
- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen . Storm
Contrary to volumes 1 and 2, the second edition of “The Century” does not differ significantly in content. It was only enriched with a gallery of illustrations.
Footnotes
Regardless of which reading order we choose, it is worth returning to the world of the League to take a closer look at it. The footnotes he has collected on Jess Nevins’ website devoted to it may be helpful in this . Despite its ascetic appearance and coarse construction, it is a real treasure trove of curiosities hidden in the pages of Moore’s and O’Neill’s comics. So far, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, volume 1 , volume 2 , 20th century , Black Files , all volumes of Nemo and the first issue of The Tempest, have been annotated . I wholeheartedly recommend reading them with albums at hand (or reading albums with footnotes at hand).
I hope this short guide has helped you solve your League comic book puzzle. Happy reading!
