FREELOEG BLACK DOSSIER EBOOK Kevin O'Neill,Alan Moore | 208 pages | 26 Dec 2007 | DC Comics | 9781401203061 | English | United States The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier by Alan Moore According to Alan Moore it is "a sort of ingenious sourcebook" which reveals the history of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen universe, spanning over fiction and mythology from centuries back until the midth century. Black Dossier is split in two parts, moving to and fro between both throughout the book. One part is a comic story in which Mina Murray and Allan Quatermainnow immortal in a dystopic s Britain, steal the legendary Black Dossier from the British Secret Service and try to flee England with it, pursued by the country's three greatest spies. The other part consists of the actual content of the titular document; a series of non-comic pieces, taking the form of prose short stories, letters, maps, guidebooks, magazines and Loeg Black Dossier a lost Shakespeare folio, that give more insight in the history of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the universe they exist in. Also included is a 'Tijuana Bible' and a 3-D Loeg Black Dossier complete with custom glasses. Designer Bill Oakley, who had helped design the previous League books up to that point, died in the middle of Black Dossier' s development. The book is dedicated to his memory. Unlike earlier volumes, the comic book portions of Black Dossier are not set in the Loeg Black Dossier era; rather, they are set inafter the fall of the Big Brother government. The frame story sees Mina Loeg Black Dossier Allan - now immortal after bathing in the fire of youth from She - on their quest to recover the Black Dossier, which contains the secret history of the now-disbanded League of Extraordinary Loeg Black Dossier. Bond attempts to rape O'Quim, but she subdues him with a brick in her handbag, before her lover arrives. They believe that Murray and Quatermain are heading North. Billy Bunterthe caretaker and former student, reveals that many British spies were groomed at the school, and that Bob Cherry is Harry Lime. By coincidence, Loeg Black Dossier, Night and Drummond are also attending the spaceport. Bond and Night share a moment of passion despite the violent warnings of a protective Drummond, and the group accidentally stumble upon Murray and Quatermain. Murray and Quatermain escape via a prototype robot-piloted ship and parachute into Scotland, seeking a secluded castle in the countryside, only to be closely pursued by the spies. Murray and Quatermain reveal their identities to Drummond and reveal to him that Bond is a trecherous Loeg Black Dossier for the United States, that Dr. No was a hoax manufactured by the Americans and that Bond is the man who killed John Night. After they leave on a magical vessel, Drummond attempts to kill Bond but he is shot by Bond at point-blank range. Bond tells Loeg Black Dossier that Drummond was murdered by Murray and Quatermain. As Murray and Quatermain read the dossier, the contents of the dossier interrupt the narrative in different sections. Stories include. However, this was not ultimately included in the first editions of the book. Publishers claimed it would be in the Absolute Edition release, but was not included. It is assumed that DC Comics did not include the record due to concerns that the record was too similar to copyrighted material. In a release exclusive to the London-based comic book Loeg Black Dossier Gosh Comicsthe vinyl record was included. The release is extremely rare, being limited to one copy per person, and sold exclusively in-store at Gosh in Loeg Black Dossier, London. The book was not officially released outside the United States because of what DC perceived as "international copyright concerns and related issues", though the book has nonetheless become easily available in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. These incidents were instrumental in Alan Moore's decision to cut all his ties with DC Comics; also to blame were controversies involving falsely- alleged endorsement of the V for Vendetta film adaptation, which Moore in fact wanted nothing to do with, and dispute over the ownership rights of Watchmen. Alan Moore had famously been one of the comic book writers of the s who helped elevate DC Comics into public attention, popularizing the Loeg Black Dossier book Swamp Thing and co-creating V for Vendetta and Watchmenthe former two of which have been collected under DC's Vertigo imprint.

Aug 13, Brooke rated it it was ok Shelves: graphic-novels-read. From glancing over the other reviews for this book, I'm sure that someone is going to say that I am dense Loeg Black Dossier dull for not Loeg Black Dossier it. That's okay, I suspect that it's true. I adored the first Loeg Black Dossier volumes of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. They were my first introduction to Alan Moore during the very early days of my comic fandom, and I was delighted with how they were darkly funny and smart and full of literary references. The Black Dossier, however, tries too hard too be all of those th From glancing over the other reviews for this book, I'm sure that someone is going to say that I am dense Loeg Black Dossier dull for not enjoying it. The Black Dossier, however, tries too hard too be all of those things and while I often don't agree when people accuse someone of being "self- indulgent," I think it applies here. The barest, barest bones of a story exist in order to display every literary reference Moore can throw at it, and there were dense pages of prose the Black Dossier of the title that seemed like a wasted telling-instead-of-showing overview of the League's history. The final portion of the book was what pushed me from 3 stars to 2, when I was distracted by the 3D gimmick and the bizarrely racist character and the near-manic sing-songy conversation about the Blazing World in which they found themselves. It felt like one of those old Looney Tunes cartoons where everyone is screaming and flying around. After turning the final page, all I could wonder was, "Just what the hell was the point of all that?

There's two major strikes against The Black Dossier, and neither of them has anything to do Loeg Black Dossier the contents of the book. The first, of course, is that we've been waiting years for this - five years, for many, just to see any new LoEG work; two years since the Dossier itself was announced. Expectations therefore peaked at a high, and that never bodes well for something as unusual and experimental as this. The second is that this really should have been the final volume of LoEG. But more on that There's two major strikes against The Black Dossier, and neither of them has anything to do with the contents of the book. But more on that in a minute. Basically, the book has a very thin plot, something any decent reader will notice after just a cursory flip through the pages.
