RIP Kevin O'Neill Extraordinary Gentleman

On this edition of the Word Balloon podcast, we present a
2009
conversation with artist Kevin O'Neil, to discuss the
release of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Vol III):
Century #1 ("1910") drawn by O'Neil and written by Alan
Moore.

Kevin discusses the background of the story, and his views on past
characters like
Mister Hyde Mina Murray, the mysterious Orlando, and the Family
line of Captain Nemo.
His thoughts on the LXG film, and the origins and future plans of
his co-creation with Pat Mills, Marshal Law .

The interview does cover plot points and setting that have been
discussed in other preview
articles and reviews of the book, so beware.

Her are some non spoiler quotes from the talk...

On the inclusion of Nemo's daughter in the 1910 League.

"She occupies a great part of the story, and we will follow her in
later books."

On the process of putting the literary cameos and pop culture
easter eggs in a subtle way.

"We just have to tread a careful line as to how we populate the
book..
as we proceed with incredible numbers of different characters in
street scenes
and backgrounds or newspaper headlines ...it's a lot of work, but
we realize
we have these Jess Nevins books analyze every single panel and we
know
a lot of people who like that  it...however if you don't know
the references,
it won't spoil the enjoyment of the story, it's just another layer
of
fictional stuff going on alongside the main story."
