75,000 Copies of First ‘LOEG 3′
‘Century Part 1′
Published: 02/12/2009 01:04am

Top Shelf plans a first print run of 75,000 copies of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 3: Century Part 1, the first of three 80-page books that will make up LOEG Vol. 3 (see “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol. 3). The book is planned for release in April, and if even a fraction of the people that will have bought the Watchmen graphic novel by then seek out this new work from Moore, that print run won’t last long.

The comic-sized work will be written by Alan Moore with art by Kevin O’Neill; lettered by Todd Klein, colors by Ben Dimagmaliw. The three parts of Volume 3 each take place in different eras, with an apocalyptic finish in the present.

appearances on the LP. He looks like an absolute rampaging
hippie! Massive beard! I wonder if Ben Elton’s against him?”

Elton’s book is an
ecological disaster story – since Moore’s Swamp Thing is about us
lot screwing up our world, I wonder if Clint is eco-minded?

“It’s not something I
spend a great deal of time thinking about. But what Alan Moore’s
done, he’s made CARING hip again. He shouldn’t have to try, but
people don’t care.
