The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is an ongoing graphic novel series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O'Neill. The primary commentator on the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series (hereto after in this article referred to as LoEG), is Jess Nevins, whose published works are considered the most complete annotations of all the various literary references made by this series. This timeline is composed of events that take place in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volumes I and II, Allan and the Sundered Veil (ATSV), and events hinted at or briefly covered in the expansive work The New Traveller's Almanac (TNTA), as well as The Black Dossier, all of these works written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O’Neill. However, ATSV and TNTA are text-based stories which take the form of a serialized, pulp-style "Boy's Story" (Allan and the Sundered Veil) and a travel guide, (The New Traveller's Almanac) respectively, with a few illustrations by Kevin O'Neill, rather than being in graphic novel form. All entries directly derived from these LoEG books will be represented by italicized entries in order to differentiate LoEG canon from the works it draws from.It should be noted that in order to place these varied events into chronological order, and to get the best sense of the Leagues' activities, there is some speculation as to probable times and orders of events, as well as mention of several events which, while happening to characters contained in LoEG, do not actually occur in LoEG, but in the original works the characters were taken from, these entries shall not be italicized. Since LoEG is a crossover fiction, there are several events which the writer of LoEG will assume the reader already knows about the character, and these events can be considered canon. At some points, however, the fictional canon of LoEG comes into conflict with the worlds of the various fictional works used as components of the LoEG fiction. These places are clearly marked, but as a general rule, unless specifically noted, the events of the sampled fictional canon all are assumed to have happened as depicted in the original work, with the addition of being in a world in which the events of all the other fictional bodies have taken place as well.Secondly it should be noted that this timeline is written in ignorance of the events of Century by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill, which is currently scheduled to be released in 2008. Sufficient to say, there will be much needed addition and correction to this timeline with the release of "Century".Thirdly, it should be noted that in order to avoid the timeline being too cluttered with notations, the members of the various Leagues and other, comparable organizations present in LoEG are listed at the bottom of the page with a complete list of their bibliographical origins.
