League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Vol III): Century #1
View League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Vol III): Century #1 Cover by Alan Moore & Kevin O’NeillCo-Published By Top Shelf Productions & Knockabout
Top Shelf is proud to announce the all-new installment in the breathtaking series by Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill! In The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Vol III): Century #1 (“1910″), our familiar cast of Victorian literary characters enters the brave new world of the 20th century!
CHAPTER ONE is set against a backdrop of London, 1910, twelve years after the failed Martian invasion and nine years since England put a man upon the moon. In the bowels of the British Museum, Carnacki the ghost-finder is plagued by visions of a shadowy occult order who are attempting to create something called a Moonchild, while on London’s dockside the most notorious serial murderer of the previous century has returned to carry on his grisly trade. Working for Mycroft Holmes’ British Intelligence alongside a rejuvenated Allan Quatermain, the reformed thief Anthony Raffles and the eternal warrior Orlando, Miss Murray is drawn into a brutal opera acted out upon the waterfront by players that include the furiously angry Pirate Jenny and the charismatic butcher known as Mac the Knife. This one is not to be missed!
This book will be the first of three deluxe, 80-page, full-color, perfect-bound graphic novellas, written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O’Neill — with lettering by Todd Klein, and colors by Ben Dimagmaliw. Each self-contained narrative takes place in three distinct eras, building to an apocalyptic conclusion occurring in our own twenty-first century. — 6 5/8″ x 10 1/8”

Richard Foreman and John Zorn join forces with ASTRONOME: A NIGHT AT THE OPERA
This is the historic first time collaboration for two MacArthur geniuses who have, individually, challenged, enlightened and entertained adventurous audiences for years. ASTRONOME: A NIGHT AT THE OPERA is a work dominated by ecstatic groans, grunts and babbling, and explores the initiation of a group of people into a world where ambiguous behavior alone leads to freedom–perhaps under the tutelage of the necessary “false messiah.”
Christian psychopath Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church turned up at Shawnee Mission East High School in Prairie Village, Kansas, last week, hoping to spend a day with his hate-addled family harassing the populace with their wretched slogans. The Phelps’s are used to receiving a vigorous response at many of their assemblies, especially when they try and picket the funerals of soldiers killed overseas. But even they must have been surprised when the entire school turned out with their own placards and slogans repudiating the anti-gay venom which is the only message the Westboro Baptist Church has to give to the world.
Their message didn’t sit well with many students at the high school where, according to student Jake Davidson, there is a Gay and Straight Alliance at the school and students elected a homecoming king in 2007 who was openly gay.
“Everyone is equal whether you’re gay or straight,” said Davidson, a 16-year-old junior from Leawood and an organizer of the student protest.
“It’s really cool that everyone wants to be involved and take a stand against this. It doesn’t surprise me that everyone wants to help out.” (More.)
See that, Fred? That’s the future, and it’s laughing at you because you look ridiculous.
