The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Page #3

I had saved his village.

He said Africa

would never allow me to die.

But you're not in Africa now.

No.

I confess a curiosity as to what

the files say about Mr. Gray.

We, all of us, have traits useful

in this endeavor.

A hunter, scientist,

even Skinner has stealth.

- Cheers.

- What have you?

I have experience.

Gray and I have met before,

many years ago at Eton College.

A lecture, no doubt.

You, the nation's hero,

Dorian, the eager listening boy.

Quite the reverse.

It was Gray visiting Eton...

...and I was the boy.

What is it?

- Gray?

- They are not mine.

They're mine.

First meetings usually

warrant introductions.

Of course. I am the Fantom.

You are the League of so-called

Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Introductions made.

Oh, and I'm scarred, Mr. Quatermain,

not blind.

Drop the gun.

Your mission is to stop me.

That, of course, I cannot permit.

So I give to you all a special

one-time invitation.

Join me.

You think we'll help start a war

that will consume the planet?

While you profit

from your arms race?

I cannot deny that fortunes

are made in war.

Imagine the riches

a world war will yield.

- He's not wrong.

- Speak for yourself.

Draw your pistol!

I walk a different path.

Run, James!

Hang on.

Night-night.

Dorian!

What are you?

I'm complicated.

Damn.

I thought I was special.

You're invulnerable to harm.

I don't like to boast.

What happened to Mina?

Oh, she's probably hip-deep

in some sort of trouble.

Don't be such an alarmist, Mr. Q.

And my hips

are none of your business.

Shoot!

Go on!

I guessed as much, that they

would do anything to protect you.

See, now that's your biggest mistake.

Thinking that I need them

to protect me.

Extraordinary.

Boy, they told me European women

had funny ways.

You missed a spot.

Excuse me.

And you are?

Special Agent Sawyer

of the American Secret Service.

Then America is aware

of the situation?

If war starts in Europe, how long

will it take until it crosses the Atlantic?

I followed you. I knocked out a straggler,

and I took his place.

very noble. But this is a private party,

and you're not invited.

Actually, Dorian has declined...

...so we are one shy of a full deck.

On the contrary, the battle

was just the spur I needed.

That and the thrill

of a friendship renewed.

So you're not needed.

- Winchester.

- That's right.

- It's modified, American style.

- American-style shooting too.

Well, whatever it takes.

You like it, I brought two.

You're in.

- So, what's the next port of call?

- Paris.

Just one last member to recruit.

Capture is more the word,

and it will be quite a hunt.

You make him sound like

some kind of animal.
