Prospero's Men

Prospero's Men

Prospero's Men is the name assigned to the first-documented incarnation of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in the graphic novels of that name by Alan Moore.

Formed in the 1680s by Prospero from William Shakespeare's "The Tempest", alongside that play's other two characters Ariel and Caliban, plus Robert Owe-much from Richard Head's "The Floating Island" [Published under the pseudonym Frank Careless.] , Don Quixote, the titular character from Miguel de Cervantes' "The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha", Amber St. Clair from Kathleen Winsor's "Forever Amber" and Christian from John Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress", the group sailed to a venue called The Blazing World, but disbanded in 1690 when Christian left Earth to live in the Blazing World. Prospero apparently followed Christian into the Blazing World sometime later.
