The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Alan Moore

parts too. but be warned - this can be quite a graphic graphic novel. i m no prude, but it may be best not to introduce this to an impressionable pre-teen.

The currently available version is published by Eddie Campbell comics, and before that it was serialised by Kitchen Sink. I could be wrong, ...
