There's more LOEG on the way after that as well...

That was the sound of me simultaneously creaming my pants and dying of sheer anticipation.

So, when's this out? And is it an original TPB - like Top Ten: The 49ers - or is it a text piece with O'Neill illustrations, like his recent work on Marshall Law?

THE BLACK DOSSIER is an elaborately designed, cutting-edge volume that includes a "Tijuana Bible" insert and a 3-D section complete with custom glasses, as well as additional text pieces, maps, and a stunning cutaway double-page spread of Captain Nemo's Nautilus submarine by Kevin O'Neill.

So it's conceivable that with all that there might not be any comics content. However I beleive theres also a third volume of LOEG on it's way, this time from a publisher other than DC.

Top Shelf is getting the publishing rights to the next LoEG book.


Looks nice, but all the extras make the books sound a little gimicky. Like Moore is drinking his own Kool-Aid.

THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

All he does is deconstruction anyway...

Hmm. Does sound like there's going to be precious little space for original comic in there- and wasn't there talk of an audio supplement as well? No complaints from me, provided we get something more a bit more substantial than a gussied up version of the games & extras in the LoEG Absolute Editions.

IIRC, isn't it Top Shelf handling the next LoEG? In the Lying in the Gutters post on the subject, I believe Moore said that they would be picking up the series after Dark Dossier.

Sorry, Adventurer - I was typing my post when yours went up.

Dark Jimbo

With about 185 pages of original comic, it's actually going to have more total comic pages than books 1 and 2, which were restricted to some extent by their original monthly format.

Looks like there'll be plenty of female action judging by that cover.

Would make a great Daily Mail healine:ARE EVIL WIZARDS CORRUPTING OUR CHILDRENS MINDS?

I remember my first exposure to Marshal Law came from an article in some womans magazine that had an expose on the evil comics that were starting to surface... I seem to recall it was my nan who pointed it out - Thanks, nan!
