Collects League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century books 1910, 1969 and 2009.

The nineteenth century, expiring with a flourish of Moriarty and Martians, has left the division of Military Intelligence commanded by Mina Murray in a state of disrepair. While she and her lover Allan Quatermain have achieved a measure of eternal youth, recruiting new talents such as the trans-gendered immortal Orlando, the ghost-finder Thomas Carnacki and the gentleman thief A.J. Raffles to replace their deceased or missing colleagues, former associate Captain Nemo has retired to his Pacific pirate island to decline in surly isolation.

Now it is the early years of a new and unfamiliar century, and forces are emerging that appear to promise ruin for the Murray group, the nation and indeed the world, even were it to take a hundred years for this apocalyptic threat to come to its disastrous fruition.

From the occult parlours and crime-haunted wharfs of 1910, through the criminal, mystical and psychedelic underworlds of 1969 to the financially and culturally desolated streets of 2009, the disintegrating remnants of Miss Murray and her League must combat not only the hidden hand of their undying adversary, but also the ethical and psychological collapse accompanying this new era.

And a lot of things can happen in a CENTURY.

Great, but…

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2023

The paperback is great. Great story, great graphics… My only criticism is I wished the stories “Minions of the Moon” where placed at the end of each chapter of Century… so as to give the narrative interruptions much like Moore has done though out the series and other comics…

Jumped the shark - but I can't resist the clues, allusions and breadcrumbs

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

I am a fan of the LEG series, as much for the artwork as for the literary references Moore makes. But Vol. III is a challenge - both in terms of the density of the book. The references to period materials not only come fast and furious, but are pretty arcane - and I'm confident that I missed many of the minutae in 1910 and especially the pop-cultural references in 1969. But this has always been part of the charm and allure of the concept. For some readers, I suspect the shine of this will have worn off.

I liked - and was impressed - with the way in which Moore made literary references applicable to the time period: in 1910, the story line loosely followed Brecht's The Threepenny Opera (The Criterion Collection) (I particularly enjoyed the appearance of "Mack the Knife"), but a close read also shows brief "cameos" of Popeye and Andy Capp as well as oblique references to Arkham Asylum and Faust. The second chapter is set in 1969 and makes loose reference to the Rolling Stones (especially the song "Sympathy for the Devil"), although again, the pop-culture references are legion. (I was only able to identify cameos by Dr. Who, The Catcher in the Rye , and Monty Python. The plot by this time, however, begins to suffer, as the "League" really becomes only Mina Harker, Orlando and Quartermain, with the occasional appearance of Norton from Iain Sinclair's Slow Chocolate Autopsy : Incidents from the Notorious Career of Norton, Prisoner of London . At this point, the story is effectively jumping the shark. The third and final chapter, set in 2009 has fewer allusions to pop culture (as far as I could tell), but those that were included were a lot of fun (look for caricatures of the various actors playing James Bond, Torchwood: The Complete Original UK Series , and (believe it or not), J.K. Rowling. At this point, the shark has clearly been jumped. The final appearance of Mary Poppins was, I have to admit, funny, but there was no salvaging a story line (and concept) that has effectively been wrung dry.

I give it the relatively favorable rating I do because I DID enjoy the allusions and references, although there was a strong urge to seek out and verify the references that I was sure I was making (which would have been a distraction). For fans who have been with Moore and O'Neill through The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1 , The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 2 and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier will certainly want to see the series through. For those with a more passing interest, I'd skip this one.

Excellent VOL>3

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

I loved the first 2 Volumes, and it is hard to top them, but this edition does it's best and is worth every penny. Great story, though i do recommended you read "The Black Dossier", and the "Nemo" stories 1st or a lot of characters in volume 3 will be unknown, and I'd imagine this volume wouldn't pack as much of a punch. I do however wish they had a bit more extra art like the 1st 2 volumes. They do have some amazing splash pages and all the cover art, but only one page of old carnival-like ad's, as in the past they'd include a good bit of random, amazing complicated pages of art....It's all good though, story is great so long as you managed to slump through The Black Dossier.

Fun, but the story gets a little muddled, and if you've not read Harry Potter, there are a lot of jokes you're not going to get.

Superbe édition de luxe pour une superbe fin de cette histoire qui réuni des protagonistes littéraires dans un monde au bord d'un changement qui les dépasse. J'adore les deux premiers tome et celui-ci ne déçois pas. La composition des planches, le trait des personnages et l'histoire : tout y est.

Very different from the first books

Reviewed in Germany on September 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

I loved the first two books so I am very disappointed about this volume. I enjoyed the clever use of original literary characters in the original two books.
This one though is just your usual comic story with new and uninteresting characters. Yes, Moore's writing is still great but the story is bland and unoriginal.

Disappointingly dull and bitter

Reviewed in Australia on February 28, 2023

Verified Purchase

Alan Moore remains one of my all time favourites, but this saga of immortals versus an apocalyptic conspiracy manages to be boring. The League is hardly extraordinary, being wrapped up in their own neuroses and failures, and, well, they don't achieve all that much or come across as interesting or sympathetic. A bit of a dud ending to a legendary series, and the first less than stellar review of Moore's work I've ever posted.

Que tiene el paquete y por que comprarlo?

Reviewed in Mexico on October 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

El paquete en si reune la tercera entrega de la liga.

Century se compone de los 3 libros por sepadaro. Century 1910, 1969 y 2009.

La version es altamente recomendable en pasta dura ya que el forro es de piel y tiene los logos de la liga al reverso solamente lo cual la hace una entrega bastante elegante.
