The League of Heroes

Lord Kraven, leader of Phileas Fogg's League of Heroes, battles alongside Sherlock Holmes, Lord Greystoke, Professor Cavor, English Bob, Captain Hook, Kid Colt, the Steel Comrade, Auguste de Grandin, Baron Stromboli and other colorful heroes to protect the mighty Empire of Albion from the dastardly villainy of Peter Pan, the Jade Mask, the deadly Doctor Fatal, the Pharaoh Im-Ho-Tep, Prince Sinbad, Fantômas, the otherworldly Horla and a host of other foes -- but is that all there is to his enchanted existence? The French have a remarkable literary tradition which joyfully mixes fantasy, science fiction and the roman policier. In The League of Heroes, the inhabitants of Neverland have come to England (now Albion) — except for Peter Pan, who declares himself the enemy of Albion. The League set up by Phileas Fogg to protect the Empire against Pan and other villains includes Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, Professor Cavor and Captain Hook, all under the command of Lord Kraven. It’s all mad, breathless excitement, and great fun.
