'''''The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume III: Century''''' is the third volume of ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'', written by [[Alan Moore]] and illustrated by [[Kevin O'Neill (comics)|Kevin O'Neill]].<ref>{{cite news |first=Owen |last=Vaughan |url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/fiction/article5767132.ece |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110616193731/http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/fiction/article5767132.ece |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 16, 2011 |title=Interview: Kevin O'Neill reveals the secrets of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Marshal Law |work=[[The Times]] |date=February 25, 2009 }}</ref><ref name="KO">{{cite web |last=Manning |first=Shaun |url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=20197 |title=Extraordinary Gentleman: Kevin O'Neill on "Century: 1910" |publisher=[[Comic Book Resources]] |date=February 26, 2009 }}</ref> Co-published by [[Top Shelf Productions]] and [[Knockabout Comics]] in the US and UK respectively, ''Century'' was published in three distinct 72-page squarebound comics.

==Structure==
The third volume of ''The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'' is a 216-page epic spanning almost a hundred years and entitled 'Century'. Divided into three 72-page chapters, each a self-contained narrative to avoid frustrating cliff-hanger delays between episodes, it takes place in three distinct eras, building to an apocalyptic conclusion occurring in the present, twenty-first, century. The characters and themes thread through all three episodes, in which the characters of [[Mina Harker]], [[Allan Quatermain]] and [[Orlando (comics)|Orlando]] feature prominently, alongside [[W. Somerset Maugham]]'s [[Aleister Crowley]]-analogue [[The Magician (Maugham novel)|Oliver Haddo]] and [[Iain Sinclair]]'s London-bound [[time travel]]ler Andrew Norton, from ''[[Slow Chocolate Autopsy]]''.<ref name="Newsarama5">{{cite web |last=Smith |first=Zack |url=http://www.newsarama.com/comics/040930-Moore5.html |title=Mondo Moore: Looking Back on The Black Dossier |publisher=[[Newsarama]] |date=April 30, 2009 |access-date=May 3, 2009 }}</ref>

Moore has stated that the move from [[DC Comics]]/[[WildStorm]]/[[America's Best Comics]] has been liberating, and that the work on ''Century'' is "as if we feel freed from the conventions of boys' adventure comics", allowing for a work that is "a lot more atmospheric", building slowly to "a tremendously bloody climax".<ref name="Padraig">{{cite web |first=Pádraig |last=Ó Méalóid |url=http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/2008/were-off-to-see-the-wizard-the-wonderful-wizard-of-northampton-padraig-o-mealoid-talks-to-alan-moore/ |title=We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Northampton – Pádraig Ó Méalóid talks to Alan Moore |publisher=The [[Forbidden Planet (bookstore)|Forbidden Planet]] International Blog Log |date=June 13, 2008 |access-date=December 8, 2009 |archive-date=August 27, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827084312/http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/2008/were-off-to-see-the-wizard-the-wonderful-wizard-of-northampton-padraig-o-mealoid-talks-to-alan-moore/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==Chapter 1: What Keeps Mankind Alive?==
The story begins in 1910, twelve years after the [[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume One|first]] and [[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume II|second]] volumes. On [[The Mysterious Island|Lincoln Island]], the dying [[Captain Nemo]] asks his estranged teenage daughter, Janni Dakkar, to become the new captain of the ''[[Nautilus (Verne)|Nautilus]]'' after his death, but she refuses and leaves his side. She stows away on a passing ship, which sails to London, and taking the name "[[Jenny Diver]]" she gets a job at a wharf-side hotel. Jack MacHeath – portrayed as a combination of ''[[The Threepenny Opera]]'' protagonist MacHeath and real-life serial killer [[Jack the Ripper]] – arrives in London on the same ship and murders a prostitute.

[[Allan Quatermain]] and [[Mina Harker|Mina Murray]] (who have both become immortal after bathing in the [[She (novel)|Fire of Youth]]) continue to work for the British Government as part of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, along with new members [[Orlando: A Biography|Orlando]], [[Thomas Carnacki]] and [[A.J. Raffles]]. Carnacki has frequent visions of an upcoming disaster where many people will die, and a cult plotting the creation of a "[[Moonchild (novel)|Moonchild]]" destined to initiate Armageddon. He recognises one of the men in his visions as paranormal detective [[Simon Iff]], and the League go to a gentlemen's club Carnacki and Iff regularly attend to learn more about him. One of the club's members, [[Zanoni]], reveals Iff was an associate of [[The Magician (Maugham novel)|Oliver Haddo]], an occultist who died in 1908 but whose cult remains active. Mina and Allan later discuss the situation with [[Mycroft Holmes]], the head of British Intelligence, who advises them to investigate the Haddo cult's headquarters near [[London King's Cross railway station|King's Cross railway station]] and suggests MacHeath (whom British Intelligence knows is Jack the Ripper) will be responsible for the deaths Carnacki foresaw.

At Kings Cross, Mina and Raffles meet time traveller [[Slow Chocolate Autopsy|Andrew Norton]], but he offers little help and speaks almost entirely in riddles referencing events in the far future. As he disappears to another time, Norton promises Mina they will meet again in 1969. Meanwhile, Orlando, Allan and Carnacki break into the Haddo cult's headquarters, but are caught by the leader [[A Dance to the Music of Time|Karswell Trelawney]]. When they confront the cult about their plans, Trelawney claims what Carnacki has been seeing is either inaccurate or a future event yet to happen, but Carnacki inadvertently gives them a crucial piece of information by mentioning the name of a woman who has yet to join the cult. Elsewhere, Janni is mistreated by the staff and guests of the hotel, but when [[Ishmael (Moby-Dick)|Ishmael]] appears with news of Nemo's death, she still refuses to join the ''Nautilus'' crew and demands he leave. That evening, Janni is raped by a group of drunk men, and is later aided to her room by Suky Tawdry (another character from ''The Threepenny Opera''). Distraught and eager for revenge, she decides to fulfil Nemo's dying wishes and fires a flare to summon the ''Nautilus'', which is docked nearby.

The next day, MacHeath is brought to the gallows to be hanged without trial, as Mycroft is worried  a trial might reveal the involvement of the 14th Earl of Gurney (the protagonist of the 1968 play ''[[The Ruling Class (play)|The Ruling Class]]'') in the original Ripper murders and cause a scandal. As MacHeath sings his final plea from the gallows, the ''Nautilus'' (now painted black and with Nemo's skull nailed to the forecastle) emerges from the [[Thames]] and destroys every building on the waterfront. The crew descend to loot and murder while Janni – accepting the role of captain – orders them to kill the men who raped her. Mycroft receives news of the ''Nautilus'' attacking the London docks, as well as a letter from the Earl of Gurney confessing to all the Ripper crimes, so he orders for MacHeath to be freed without charge and sends the League to the docks. When they arrive, Orlando fends off the pirates with [[Excalibur]], and amidst the chaos Mina runs into Janni, who recognises her from her previous visit to Lincoln Island in 1898. As the ''Nautilus'' departs, Janni invites Mina to join the crew should she ever decide to forsake government work. Mina berates the League for their reckless actions, and as they leave the ruined docks, MacHeath and Suky sing an altered version of ''[[What Keeps Mankind Alive?]]'' mocking the League for their failures.

==Chapter 2: Paint It Black==
In 1969, around eleven years after the events of ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier]]'', members of Oliver Haddo's cult murder [[Fotherington-Thomas|Basil Thomas]], a member of the rock band "Purple Orchestra". Mina, Orlando and Allan no longer work for the British Government and have spent the years since the events of ''The Black Dossier'' away from Britain, but the sorcerer [[Prospero]] summons them back to investigate Basil's murder. The ''Nautilus'' drops the League off at the [[White Cliffs of Dover]], and returning to London they settle into their new base underneath a nightclub (which Mina had planned to use as the headquarters for a superhero team she tried to assemble in 1964). They speculate that the Haddo cult may be trying to create the Antichrist, following a [[Rosemary's Baby (novel)|previous failed attempt to do so]] in New York two years before. That night, Mina has a nightmare in which she is haunted by Haddo's spirit, leaving her disturbed and terrified. Meanwhile, mob leader [[Villain (1971 film)|Vince Dakin]] hires [[Get Carter|Jack Carter]] to search for Basil's killer as well, and Carter's investigations lead him to an occult bookshop owned by [[Warlock (The Avengers)|Kosmo Gallion]], the current leader of the Haddo cult.

The next morning, the League meet with [[Jerry Cornelius]], who tells them Andrew Norton is due to reappear at King's Cross. When Norton does appear, he continues to speak almost exclusively in cryptic riddles referencing works of fiction and events in the future, but he does reveal Haddo's spirit has been transferring into other bodies for years, including Karswell Trelawney and Kosmo Gallion, and directs the League's investigation towards a nightclub called the Flying Cylinder. Before leaving, Norton warns that by the time they meet again in 2009, the League will be "too late" to stop Haddo. Elsewhere, Gallion discusses the Haddo cult with Purple Orchestra's lead singer [[Performance (film)|Terner]], and promises him he will become Haddo's new host body. At the Flying Cylinder, Mina meets and questions Gallion's partner Julia, who takes her back to her flat. They have sex, and Julia gives Mina a "[[Allan and the Sundered Veil|tadukic]] acid diethylamide" pill.

Purple Orchestra hold a concert at [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]] in honour of Basil (which parallels the real-world death of [[Rolling Stones]] member [[Brian Jones]] and the subsequent [[Stones in the Park|tribute concert]]), in which Terner reads poetry and sings a song based on "[[Sympathy for the Devil]]". From Julia's information, Mina learns that Haddo's spirit plans to transfer from Gallion to Terner at the concert, and she, Orlando and Allan go to Hyde Park to stop the ritual. However, once they arrive she realises the actual ritual is occurring at Gallion's bookshop. While Allan and Orlando race to the shop, Mina stays at the concert and takes the tadukic acid pill, which gives her surreal hallucinations. Her spirit leaves her body and fights Haddo on the [[astral plane]], but he overpowers her and reveals the League's interference will not affect the planned birth of the Antichrist. At the bookshop, Jack Carter kills Gallion before the ritual can be completed. With his plan gone awry, Haddo is forced to enter the body of a man named Tom (who is heavily implied to be a younger [[Voldemort]]). Purple Orchestra release a flock of bats into the crowd, and as Mina returns to her body she is driven insane by a hallucination of the bats chanting "[[Dracula|Remember me?]]". She is taken away in an ambulance before Allan and Orlando can get to her, while Tom - now under Haddo's control - goes to King's Cross and passes through [[Platform 9 3/4]].

Eight years later, in 1977, Allan and the female Orlando have still not reunited with Mina, and sit sulking in a bar. Allan has relapsed into drug abuse, and growing bored of his self-pity Orlando leaves him, planning to join the army once her gender changes again.

==Chapter 3: Let It Come Down==
In 2009, the male Orlando is serving in the British Army and stationed in [[The West Wing (TV Series)|Q'mar]]. He receives a medal after apparently surviving a massacre, but he privately confesses to a fellow immortal soldier – [[Whatever Happened to Corporal Cuckoo?|Colonel Cuckoo]] – that he actually committed the massacre himself in a moment of violent madness. Returning home to London, which has become a dystopia rife with poverty and depression, Orlando's gender switches to female. Prospero – outraged by the League's continuous failure to stop Oliver Haddo – appears and reveals the Antichrist has already been born, therefore the League only have a limited time to prevent Armageddon. In desperation, Orlando approaches the elderly [[Emma Peel|Emma Night]], the current head of [[MI5]], and offers her the secret to immortality in exchange for help finding Mina. After speaking with Night she is briefly reunited with Allan, who has become a homeless drug addict, but he panics and flees before she can talk to him.

Mina is staying in a psychiatric hospital run by the descendants of [[Rosa Coote]], where she is medicated on strong sedatives. Orlando retrieves her from the hospital and takes her off the drugs, and as Mina's memories return she remembers they are due another meeting with Andrew Norton. They try to convince Allan to help them, but he refuses and claims he no longer wants to live a heroic life. When Norton reappears at King's Cross, he guides Mina and Orlando through the hidden Platform 9 3/4, where they find the wreckage of [[Hogwarts#Hogwarts Express|a magical train]] full of decaying corpses. He explains the train is operated magically and its track leads to the school the Antichrist came from, but he himself is unable to join them. The train travels across Britain's underlying dream realm and stops at the ruins of [[Hogwarts|a school for wizards]]. As Mina and Orlando search the ruins, flashbacks show the events leading up to the school's destruction. As a baby, the Antichrist (who is heavily implied to be [[Harry Potter (character)|Harry Potter]] but never referred to by name) was scarred with the mark of the beast on his forehead, and throughout the child's adolescence, Oliver Haddo tried to manipulate him into accepting his destiny by staging a series of [[Harry Potter (series)|adventures set in the school]] and portraying a nemesis for him to fight. The revelation of his true destiny drove the Antichrist insane and he went on a destructive rampage, destroying the school and killing all the staff and pupils. When Mina and Orlando return to London, Prospero urges them to confront the Antichrist and use Excalibur to signal for reinforcements. Meanwhile, Allan buys a gun and prepares to commit suicide, but ultimately decides not to.

The Antichrist is hiding in an [[Places in Harry Potter#Number 12.2C Grimmauld Place|invisible house]], where he angrily rants at Haddo's severed head, which is still alive. When Mina and Orlando arrive to confront him, he emerges as a giant covered in eyes and begins to trigger the end of the world. As Orlando battles him, Excalibur reacts by summoning a light in the sky, which is seen by everyone in the world. Out at sea, arch-terrorist Jack Nemo (the great-grandson of the original Captain Nemo) sees the light, and deciding to abandon his terrorist actions in Pakistan, he orders his crew to return to Lincoln Island, where a new ''Nautilus'' is being constructed. Back in London, Allan arrives to help Mina and Orlando, shooting the Antichrist with a futuristic weapon. The Antichrist is unaffected by the blast and shoots a bolt of magical lightning from his penis, which kills Allan. An enigmatic woman resembling [[Mary Poppins (character)|Mary Poppins]] descends from the sky and destroys the Antichrist by transforming him into a chalk drawing on the road, which washes away in the rain. Haddo's head states Armageddon will still happen, but now Mina is destined to initiate it. Before he can explain further the woman takes him and ascends back into the sky.

Emma Night arrives, accompanied by two women who have left MI5, as she has now. They escort Mina and Orlando to Africa, where Allan's body is buried in an existing grave dating back to when he originally faked his death in 1885. As they depart for the Fire of Youth, Night inquires how an immortal is able to cope with eternal life, and Mina simply tells her one has to keep on living.

==''Minions of the Moon''==
Each chapter of ''Century'' is accompanied by an episode of a text-story entitled ''Minions of the Moon'', written in the style of a 1960s "[[New Wave (science fiction)|new wave]]" science fiction story. Moore writes as "John Thomas", and in the style of [[John Sladek]].<ref name="Newsarama3">{{cite web |last=Smith |first=Zack |url=http://www.newsarama.com/comics/040928-Moore3.html |title=Mondo Moore: Alan Moore on New Ideas, Old Ideas|publisher=[[Newsarama]] |date=April 28, 2009 |access-date=May 3, 2009 }}</ref>

===Chapter One: Into the Limbus===
The first segment, ''Love amongst the Troglodytes'', is set in Africa in 1236 BC. It details how Orlando (as a young woman named "Bio") first became immortal by bathing in the Fire of Youth, and the time she spent with a tribe of primitive immortals who live around the fire. One immortal showed her the remains of a mysterious black object, a [[Monolith (Space Odyssey)|monolith]] from ''2001: A Space Odyssey''. The second segment, ''In the Wake of the Black Nautilus'', is set a few hours after the ''Nautilus''' attack on East London in 1910. Mina Murray is left disturbed by her earlier encounter with Janni Dakkar, and is fearful of how her own immortality will affect her in years to come. Allan Quatermain pacifies her with a romantic gesture, promising to give her the "Moon above [[Soho]]".
 
The next three segments are all set in 1964; ''Her Long, Adorable Lashes'' shows Allan in a sexual relationship with the female Orlando, and reveals Orlando to be the true identity of O, the protagonist of [[Pauline Reage]]'s ''[[Story of O]]''. ''Requiem for a Space-Wizard'' begins the main story, and shows superhero Captain Universe giving his ally "Vull the Invisible" a tour of his newly acquired headquarters. All of the while he privately speculates what sort of person Vull is beneath his invisibility, but when Vull leaves the headquarters he removes his invisibility helmet, revealing himself to be Mina in disguise. In ''Coming Forth by Day'', Mina, the alien "[[Golliwogg|Galley-Wag]]" and his [[Florence Kate Upton|two Dutch Dolls]] are summoned to the [[The Blazing World|Blazing World]], where Prospero sets them the task of going to the Moon and stopping a civil war between two Lunar races. They travel to the Moon in an airship called the ''Rose of Nowhere'', and during the journey Mina and the Galley-Wag see the corpse of [[Professor Moriarty]], still clutching the [[Cavorite]] engine from the [[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume One|first volume]] and frozen in a block of ice in orbit around Earth.

===Chapter 2: The Distance from Tranquility===
The first segment, ''Escape from Nowhere'', is set in outer space in 1896, and shows the Galley-Wag escaping from a spaceship run by [[Kanjar Ro|pink-skinned aliens]], where he was kept as a slave for many years. The second segment, ''Glass Shirts and Goose-Bones'', is set in 1964 and continues the story of Mina and the Galley-Wag's Lunar journey. Arriving on the Moon's surface, Mina finds several strange objects from different time periods, including an Anglo-Saxon crown and an Elizabethan doll, and suspects they may have landed on the "Limbus of the Moon", where lost things accumulate. ''Babes in Toyland'' continues from ''Escape from Nowhere'', as the Galley-Wag's escape pod flies to Earth and crashes in the Arctic Circle, where he is found by [[Frankenstein's Monster]]. He is nursed back to health in Toyland (a settlement inhabited by sentient, toy-like automatons), and is accepted into their community. The Monster, who rules Toyland alongside his automaton wife [[The Sandman (short story)|Olympia]], gives the two Dutch Dolls to the Galley-Wag as companions.

''A Long Way from Baltimore'' continues from ''Glass shirts and Goose-Bones''. Under cover of invisibility, Mina spies on an American Lunar base, where the astronauts speculate and argue about the origins of a colony of giant ants which have been attacking them. In ''Skulls and Amazons'', the Galley-Wag pilots the ''Rose of Nowhere'' across the Moon's surface, observing the behaviour of the giant ants and finding a vast field of human skulls. In the sixth and final segment, ''Give Me the Moonlight, Give Me the Girls...'', the crew reunite with Mina and show her the various alien species they have seen, including the [[Clangers]] and their Soup Dragon. They discover a citadel populated by naked [[Amazon Women on the Moon|warrior women]] called Myrmidons, who explain that a plague starting in 1901 killed their entire male population, and the skulls are of their deceased. To keep their race alive, the women harvest sperm cells from the frozen body of a human man, whom Mina recognises as [[The First Men in the Moon|Professor Selwyn Cavor]].

===Chapter 3: Saviours===
The first segment, ''A Cricket-Cap of Thorns'', is set in 1901, shortly after the events of [[H. G. Wells]]' ''[[The First Men in the Moon]]''. Stranded on the Moon and confronted by several Selenites (the giant ants from the previous chapter), Professor Cavor kills himself by stepping out of the Moon's atmosphere. The Selenites come to worship his frozen corpse as a deity. The remaining five segments are set in 1964 and conclude the main story. ''A Harsh Mistress'' reveals the war Mina and the Galley-Wag were sent to prevent began when the Myrmidons stole Cavor's body from the Selenites, and as they prepare for battle the Myrmidon leader [[Maza of the Moon|Maza]] mounts a reptilian steed called a "Nak-Kar", and mentions the presence of a [[Uatu|celestial being]] who observes everything the Myrmidons do. In ''Moonbeams, Home in a Jar'', three astronauts in the American lunar base see the Myrmidon army riding Nak-Kars and charging into battle against the Selenites, but they decide not to report it to base command because they are growing cannabis inside the base and fear the repercussions of their secret being discovered.

In ''A Moonlight Flit'', the ''Rose of Nowhere'' hovers over the battlefield, and the Dutch Dolls distract the Selenites by suspending Cavor's body from a rope. Hastily devising a plan to end the war, Mina threatens to kill Maza unless she follows her demands. In ''A Sea of Crises'', Maza orders the Myrmidon army to cease their attack and announces they will return Cavor to the Selenites, because an alternative sperm source has been found. The ''Rose of Nowhere'' crew retrieve Professor Moriarty's corpse from its orbit around Earth and bring it to the Moon. The story concludes with ''The Sins of the Father'', in which the Myrmidons extract intact sperm cells from Moriarty and successfully fertilise donated egg cells. Maza thanks the crew for their help in saving her race and rewards them with a banquet, but as they celebrate Mina privately regrets this solution and dreads the possible future repercussions.

==Release and reception==
The three volumes of the graphic novel were scheduled to be released in April/May for three successive years from 2009 to 2011. ''1910'' was released in April 2009, ''1969'' was released July 2011, and ''2009'' was released on June 27, 2012.<ref>[http://www.topshelfcomix.com/news/835   Out today: LEAGUE 2009 (Publishers website)]</ref>

Reception to ''Century'' has been mixed to positive.
