This teamed up various characters in [[Victorian era|Victorian]] literature such as [[Captain Nemo]], [[Allan Quatermain]] and [[Dr. Jekyll]]. The title was a huge success and was followed by a second six issue series which again proved successful but issue five was recalled by [[Paul Levitz]] due to a real advert for a Victorian "Marvel Douche"<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080117224142/http://www.tcj.com/264/n_cbldf.html Where Do New CBLDF Board Members Paul Levitz and Steve Geppi Stand on the First Amendment?], ''[[The Comics Journal]]'' No. 264, 24 November 2004</ref> due to him not wishing to offend Marvel Comics.{{fact|date=November 2022}} The [[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (film)|film version]] of ''League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'' was released in 2003. The film was critically mauled and both Moore and O'Neill disowned it. After a legal dispute where it was alleged the film was plagiarised by 20th Century Fox and that Fox solicited the idea for Moore and O'Neill's comic as a smokescreen, the pair have taken the third volume of ''League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'' and its ''Nemo'' spinoffs to [[Knockabout Comics]] and [[Top Shelf Productions]]<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.com/culture/tv-radio/article/interview-kevin-oneill-reveals-the-secrets-of-the-league-of-extraordinary-gentlemen-and-marshal-law-tshlw9fnj58|title=Interview: Kevin O'Neill reveals the secrets of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Marshal Law|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110616193731/http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/fiction/article5767132.ece|archive-date=16 June 2011|last=Vaughan|first=Owen|date=25 February 2009|url-status=live|work=[[The Times]]}}</ref><ref>[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=20197 Extraordinary Gentleman: Kevin O'Neill on "Century: 1910"], [[Comic Book Resources]], 26 February 2009</ref> due both to Moore feeling insulted by the lack of support from [[20th Century Fox]] and DC comics in the lawsuit, and also Warner Bros.' failure to retract false claims of Moore's endorsement of the [[V for Vendetta (film)|''V for Vendetta'' film adaptation]].{{fact|date=November 2022}}
