The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a comic book limited series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O'Neill.  Set in late 1800's Britain (my favorite setting for anything) the British government, as it has done in the past, creates a team of individuals with certain talents to protect the crown & empire.  All of these individuals happen to be actual characters of literature.  If your only experience with this material is the film, ignore the film (which is terrible) and read this series.
