THE BLOG AT THE CROSSROADS


Blog of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Posted: July 25, 2011

Let me alert you to a rather excellent comics site made in Britain, namely Mindless Ones, a self-denigrating but culturally informed reference, of course, to Lee and Ditko’s other-dimensional brawlers, foes of Doctor Strange). Today these panelologists have commenced a fortnight dedicated to the recently released, eminently groovy second volume in Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century, transporting us to the year 1969, available from Top Shelf in the USA and Knockabout here in the UK. Over the next two weeks, Mindless Ones will be running a series of posts celebrating the book’s launch, which will include lengthy annotations and commentary, and an interview with Kevin O’Neill. The first batch is already up by Amy Poodle, Andrew Hickey and ‘Zom’. What better way to impress your fellow LXG readers with your erudition? And be sure to catch Moore & O’Neill on their signing tour, including the grand finale extravaganza at Gosh! this Saturday July 30th, before the shop’s relocation to palatial new premises, appropriately in Berwick Street, as featured in this very LXG volume, in nearby Soho.
