Now with added League of Extraordinary Gentlemen:
QuoteThe art of science fiction is currently on display in an exhibition at the British Library, London, where you can see a real-life Tardis – well, maybe not quite a real-life one, but it looks convincing from the outside – along with legions of book covers and illustrations that map the history of science fiction from Thomas More to China Miéville.
My favourite exhibit, partly because it is one of the most visually rewarding, is Alan Moore's comic The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Moore is the wild magician of British graphic fiction. You may love or loathe other works by him (such as From Hell), or be put off by the whole idea of adult comics that linger too long in an adolescent world of superheroes, or indeed want to avoid such cultural realms like the plague. But if there is one comic, indeed one contemporary work of science fiction that every literate adult should read, it is this one.

John Freeman has given an overivew of what is on:

It is a pity there is no 2000 AD representation that I have heard about.
Somehow missed this when John posted it (in April). Looks like the Alan Moore interview has long since sold out.
QuoteAlan Moore's comic The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Still no mention of Kevin O'Neill (see the 'guardian sci-fi list' thread for further rants on this subject!)
EDIT - justv read the whole blog article and it seems they HAVE learned, though it's somethmething of an afterthought buried a few paragraphs down:
QuoteIn the first two volumes of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Moore and artist Kevin O'Neill reimagine London at the height of the British empire.
FP have a big report:

There is V For Vendetta but oddest is Grandville next to League of Extraordinary but no Gothic Empire, which would link the two? No 2000AD that I can see at all?? What is going on?
