Thank you all for your patience, and thanks so much for reading and supporting LXGF.

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1 Watson: Speaking of new friends, I daresay the group was as queer as the case! It seems to me you didn’t even find the invisible fellow the most curious of them. Holmes: Ah, you noticed that, did you?

Panel 2 Holmes (voiceover): Indeed, they’re quite a peculiar gathering… many traits to spark the curiosity.

Panel 3 Watson: That aside, I am glad you were able to meet Irene Norton again, under less dubious circumstances. Holmes: As am I. That wasn’t my proudest moment, was it?

Panel 4 Holmes: I’m relieved that she has asked me to stay in touch. Watson: Oh? So she and her husband are settling down in London?

Panel 5 Holmes (voiceover): They are; and she has stated, quite firmly, that I owe them a proper wedding.

Panel 6 Holmes: I have composed a list of venues to suggest to the bride. Do help me compose my reply? Watson: Of course! Let me fetch the writing-paper…

Panel 7 Holmes (voiceover): Dear Mrs. Norton, I am writing to tell you… Caption: End Interlude 1

So Basil Hallward told us he has to finish up a commission for a "Sir Murgatroyd." My question for all of you is: which one?

I actually have Opinions about this and am *vibrating through the wall*

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Holmes: If you don’t mind me asking, do share your thoughts on our last strange case.

Watson: Hm…There were no illusionist’s tricks at play, as far as either of us could tell.

Panel 2

Watson: I feel I’ve documented a dozen supposedly unnatural cases that had a bizarre yet mundane explanation, but this one challenges logic.

Panel 3

Holmes: That it does…And that is what unsettles me.

Panel 4

Holmes (voiceover): I can excel in the realm of the natural, as deduction relies on logic, yet the otherworldly defies it.

Panel 5

Watson: Well, my friend, at least our new friends have shown their strengths there. The world does not rely on you alone to solve its every mystery.

Holmes: Ha! You’re quite right, my dear Watson. I won’t fret overmuch.

Panel 6

Holmes: Should Mrs. Norton and her new allies find some little puzzle where a couple old hounds like us may be useful, we’re but a wire away.

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Godfrey: And do not tell Irene, but I am certainly going to commission you for a portrait of her.

Basil: I’d be glad to! As soon as I have completed Sir Murgatroyd’s, I am at your service.

Panel 2

Godfrey: Please, take your time. No matter when, it is a thrill to show your gift to the one you love!

Basil: Indeed, it is…

Panel 3

Irene: …Well, Mr. Gray, we shall keep that in mind. We do owe Mr. Hallward, as well as yourself, credit for giving us the first clue. Above all, we trust Lord Godalming having referred you.

Panel 4

Dorian: Ah, indeed, good old Basil…Anyway. I am glad Lord Godalming has put my little joke behind him. He’s a bit of a humorless sort, sometimes.

Panel 5

Mina: Oh, rest assured, Arthur is quite mirthful.

Panel 6

Mina: He does, however, have his limits when it comes to love.

Mina (white text): We, however, shall suffer no mockery of Love.

Panel 7

Background text (left side): “How long will you like me? Till I have my first wrinkle, I suppose.” “I love her, and I must make her love me.” “I have had the arms of Rosalind around me, and kissed Juliet on the mouth.”

Background text (right side): “I would give my soul for that!” “To-night she is Imogen, and to-morrow night she will be Juliet.” “When is she Sibyl Vane?” “Never.” “You have spoiled the romance of my life. How little you can know of love, if you say it mars your art! Without your art, you are nothing.”

Background text (white): Mockery of Love (x3)

Panel 8

Mina: …Is everything quite alright, Mr. Gray?

Panel 9

Dorian: Oh! Yes—I was just saying—We would be delighted to keep in touch with such…ahem…intriguing company. But for now I am afraid we must bid you adieu, erm, if you’ll excuse me…

Panel 10

Basil: Dorian! Are we leaving already?

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Dorian: You caught me by surprise, Godalming. I was starting to think that you would never host an event. What’s the occasion?

Panel 2

Arthur: Just a send off for a good friend leaving for his homeland. Now…

Panel 3

Arthur: …To what do I owe the pleasure of a visit from Mr. Hallward and yourself?

Panel 4

Dorian: I wasn’t about to miss a Godalming party, of course! But I also wanted to say you’re welcome for my help in apprehending the Invisible Man. ♡

Panel 5

Dorian (offscreen): Don’t try to deny it, that puppy face of yours can’t hide a thing. Interesting friends you’ve got, Godalming. I didn’t know you had it in you; it’s most fascinating.

Panel 6

Dorian: As interesting as certain happenings at a secluded park up north.

Panel 7

Arthur: What are you getting at, Gray?

Dorian: You see, I, too, am rather interested in such strange cases…for personal reasons.

Panel 8

Dorian: And you lot seem to be most adept at attracting them…but you need my help for that, don’t you?

Arthur: If you wish to be part of this, Mr. Gray, you should be asking Mrs. Harker and Mrs. Norton, not myself.

Panel 9

Dorian: What do you mean—they are in charge of this?!

Panel 10

Arthur: Not as all-knowing as you boast, are you?

Hi there!

I just wanted to say that this comic is one of the coolest things I've seen in ages. I'd forgotten how much I liked the league of extraordinary gentlemen back in high school, and this really evokes everything about it I loved!

I apologize if this question has been asked already, but I was wondering if you're okay with fanfiction for the comic?

Thanks so much! We would LOVE to see any and all fanworks, and if you @ us we'll happily boost it! 😊

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Jack (voiceover): We are honored that you are visiting despite your busy schedule, Dr. Jekyll.

Jekyll (voiceover): I indeed rarely pay visits, but… we do live in unusual times.

Jekyll: ...

Panel 2

Jekyll: And Dr. Van Helsing has told me a great deal about you, Dr. Seward. Thus, I trust you will be an excellent help in investigating my findings.

Panel 3

Jack: Thank you for your trust. But the scientist we would like you to meet is better suited than me.

Jekyll (offscreen): Oh? Can I see him?

Griffin: That’s complicated.

Panel 4

Griffin: Ashley Griffin. Optics genius. And the only scientist in this house with any visible results.

Panel 5

Jekyll: The—the Invisible Man of Iping?? I thought that was a hoax…

Jack: I told you to wait until I had prepared him…

Panel 6

Jekyll: Pardon me, sir, but… You experimented on yourself?

Griffin: As any pioneer worth his salt ought to. I obtained the desired results, too.

Panel 7

Jekyll (offscreen): And the reports about murder?

Griffin: I–I didn’t—Listen, it was self-defense—

Jack: Past actions notwithstanding, Mr. Griffin has turned over a new leaf.

Panel 8

Jack (voiceover): Thus, on behalf of Mrs. Harker’s league, we are wondering, doctor… would you consider assisting us? For the good of our fellow man?

Panel 9

Jekyll (voiceover): ...I shall consider it.

Paper: I accept your proposal. -Dr Henry Jekyll

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Jonathan: Mr. Griffin, if you choose to leave rather than to rely on strangers, I will help you with your journey. But if you choose to stay, there is a place for you here.

Panel 2

Jonathan: Besides, home cooked food is tastier than cans of peaches.

Panel 3

Griffin: …You know, I thought you were an albino too, but it turns out you’re just weird. Your wife is an odd one too, for that matter.

Panel 4

Griffin: Didn’t mean to go all irrational with the “are you even human” stuff, by the way. I’m a scientist. I was just sick.

Panel 5

Jonathan: …We both may not be who we once were anymore.

Panel 6

Jonathan: But if we all accept that then you, sir, are welcome here. Enter, or leave, of your own free will.

Panel 7

Griffin: …Damn you.

Panel 8

Jonathan (offscreen): …Mina?

Panel 9

Jonathan: Mina, I need to confide something in you. About what I am…able to see and do. You’d understand better than anyone.

(n/a)

Panel 2

Jonathan: Good evening, Mr Griffin.

Griffin: Gah! Who the hell—

Panel 3

Griffin: —Ah.

Panel 4

Jonathan: I come here when the weather is nice to smoke. Mind joining me?

Panel 5

Griffin: Before you ask…yeah, I’ve been stealing food.

Panel 6

Griffin: Gotta prepare for when you’re done with me—for the worst. It always gets worse, and I will not starve again.

Panel 7

Jonathan: I understand. I stole coins, rather than cans, when I was a prisoner.

Griffin: You? Prisoner?!

Jonathan: I escaped on my execution day, once I was no longer of use to my captor.

Panel 8

Jonathan (voiceover): I ran for days. I was… severely ill. A bleeding, penniless, starving madman in a strange land. Yet…

Panel 9

Jonathan (voiceover): I was given a second chance because many strangers helped me. I could offer them no service, but they cared for me until I was well again.

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Irene: We cannot deny that monsters are in this world. We must be prepared to face them, and I can think of none more experienced. One can hardly bring such troubles to Scotland Yard.

Panel 2

Mina: If we learned anything from this and with the Vampire, it is that our strength is in numbers and new allies.

Panel 3

Irene: This new kind of horror could strike again, anywhere, at any time. What if Wilhelm was only the beginning?

Panel 4

Van Helsing: All of you are most correct, dear friends. Terror in Transylvania, England, Bohemia, all in such a short time…It would be wise to be prepared.

Panel 5

Van Helsing (offscreen): I know that such a gathering of folk haunted yet most unique will excel with Madam Mina’s leadership, yes?

Jack: Of course.

Quincey: No doubt.

Arthur: For certain.

Panel 6

Mina: With my leadership—! Professor, certainly you don’t mean to say…I mean, Irene is older, and she came up with the plan to trap the King…

Panel 7

Irene: I do have a knack for baffling my enemies. But I read how you rallied your friends against the Vampire, and I saw you in action myself. I’d be glad to stand beside such a leader.

Panel 8

Jonathan: If this is what you will, you know our little band of men shall always do as you say.

Panel 9

Mina: …I will try to live up to your expectations.

Panel 10

Irene: Well then, since that’s settled…I think it is time we reached out to our other allies.

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Van Helsing: …And another thing: Do not forget to write! At university it is oh! So lonely. And remember, I am but a boat trip away for when you shall need me.

Panel 2

Van Helsing: Meanwhile you, friend John, bear the duty to keep an eye out for new danger for the youngest.

Panel 3

Jack: Thank you, professor. But we are all equally capable, and we work best when we all stay vigilant for one another.

Panel 4

Van Helsing (offscreen): Ah, indeed friend John. The old cat goes, but her kits have learned to hunt well.

Panel 5

Arthur: Yet I cannot help but wonder… if a new evil emerges, can we face it with just the few of us?

Panel 6

Arthur (voiceover): With just one enemy, we lost Lucy… we almost lost Mina and Quincey… and he killed so many more.

Panel 7

Mina: And the reanimated king took all of us in this house to stop him. He nearly killed the Nortons… and Jonathan.

Panel 8

Irene (offscreen): Which brings us to something Mina and I discussed earlier…

Panel 9

Irene: We believe we should form a league.

Mina: Mrs. Nort—Irene. Before we return…may I ask how you’re feeling after…everything?

Panel 3

Irene: I sang an old lover one last song and shot him. It’s something I need to cope with. Even if he turned out to be horrible. Obsessive, even in…undeath.

Panel 4

Mina: I am so sorry you had to struggle with such a relationship…

Panel 5

Irene: I’m more than a decade older than you, Mina. I’ve known my share of cruel men. The kind you’ll hopefully never have to face.

Irene: Mina…From now on, let’s be on our guard. From anyone, and…from anything. Together.
