At last! The League returns, better than ever! It's a new age,
a new publisher, and an all-new adventure, packed with even
more metafictional fisticuffs and diachronic derring-do!

Top Shelf is proud to announce the all-new chapter 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 (or what's left of them) enters the brave new world
of the 20th century!

The present installment 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 vile opera acted
out upon the waterfront by players that include the furiously
angry Pirate Jenny and the charismatic butcher known as Mac the
Knife. Sounds like a ripping good tale, eh?

This book will be the first of three deluxe, 80-page,
full-color, perfect-bound graphic novellas, by the original
League of Extraordinary Creators: Alan Moore, Kevin O'Neill,
Ben Dimagmaliw (colors), and Todd Klein (lettering). Each
self-contained narrative takes place in three distinct eras,
building to an apocalyptic conclusion occurring in our own
twenty-first century!

For more than a century, Alice, Wendy and Dorothy have been our
guides through the Wonderland, Neverland and Land of Oz of our
childhoods. Now like us, these three lost girls have grown up
and are ready to guide us again, this time through the realms of
our sexual awakening and fulfillment. Through their familiar
fairytales they share with us their most intimate revelations
of desire in its many forms, revelations that shine out
radiantly through the dark clouds of war gathering around a
luxury Austrian hotel. Drawing on the rich heritage of erotica,
Lost Girls is the rediscovery of the power of ecstatic writing
and art in a sublime union that only the medium of comics can
achieve. Exquisite, thoughtful, and human, Lost Girls is a work
of breathtaking scope that challenges the very notion of art
fettered by convention. This is erotic fiction at its finest.
