Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Mina:  Captain Nemo asked for certain members of his crew to join us on Arthur’s ship, and allows that we may split our party to join him on the Nautilus.

Jekyll:  I can see the advantage in that…but how will you communicate with each other?

Panel 2

Mina:  That’s a good point.  Perhaps Morse code?  But how to get a signal through when the Nautilus is submerged?

Panel 3

Griffin: I have the answer to that—Don’t look so surprised!  You know damn well I’m good for more than mere burglary!

Panel 4

Griffin:  The Nemo-phone’s a clever little thing, but this mission calls for more than one-way communication.

Jack:  I can’t believe we’re calling it that…

Panel 5

Griffin: The solution… is THIS!

Sound effect: BING

Panel 6

Jekyll: —The blazes!

Panel 7

Griffin: Pfffthahaha! The looks on your faces! Ahaha...Perhaps I should have given you protective glasses, too.

Panel 8

Irene: I suppose this will do more than simply blind us?

Griffin (offscreen): Of course! These devices can be used to signal in Morse code; they can penetrate fog, rain, and up to 50 meters of water!  

Panel 9

Griffin: And I’ve just finished implementing the sound, allowing the receiver to listen rather than stare endlessly.

Panel 4

Mina:  I knew you’d do anything to come back to me… Oh!  Jonathan, shall we?

Panel 5

Sound effect (offscreen):  *knock knock*

Panel 6

Jekyll: Well, I finished reading through the journal, and found nothing else that seems useful—

Panel 7

Jekyll:  Oh—!  You’re all here—

Quincey (offscreen):  That we are!

Panel 8

Jekyll: I cannot express enough my relief that you are all safe.  We really ought to return this diary straightaway, then.

Panel 9

Godfrey: I say, that’s the journal I saw with Professor Aronnax—

Griffin: I swiped that duplicitous professor’s journal so we could track you down! 

Arthur: We have much to catch up on. Come, dear friends, let’s all move to the parlour.

Mina: Another update from Jonathan: No sightings, but a glimpse of that green on a tall rock-cropping…

Panel 3

Griffin: Would you look at all this! How deep did you say this thing could dive?

Ishmael: I didn’t—

Device: BING

Jonathan: Hush, we’re receiving.

Panel 4

Device: Beep beep beep beep beep

Jonathan: M-O-R-A-N-S-P-O-T-T-E-D-!

Ishmael: I’ll tell the captain!

Panel 5

Nemo: Ready yourselves, men.

Panel 6

Arthur: The cove’s just ahead…

Mina: Monster sighted!

Panel 7

Ligeia: Ready yourself, my dear. Enemies approach from both above and beneath the waves.

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Mina:  Incredible!  How did you know we would need such a thing, Mr. Griffin?

Panel 2

Griffin:  I didn’t; I thought that unless I wanted to be dependent on the goodwill of strangers all my life—

Arthur:  Strangers indeed!

Griffin:  Yes, yes, of course I’m grateful, but I thought I ought to try for something that may actually earn me money. So I thought of semaphore and lanterns and whatnot, and all the blasted fog…

Panel 3

Jack:  Can this one be used?  It looks unfinished.  

Griffin:  I haven’t finished the casing; it’s a prototype, a touch more complicated than the other.  You have to be careful of the wires—

Panel 4

Griffin: …Maybe I’d best run this one.  Though only if I get to be in a ship I can’t fall out of.

Panel 5

Griffin: You’re sharp, Mrs. Harker—could you man the other?

Mina: I’d be honored!

Panel 6

Irene: From past experience, I must ask: do you know Morse code, Griffin?

Griffin: I, er…not well, no. Perhaps someone else might tell me what to enter? And take down messages received, I suppose…

Panel 7

Mina: Jonathan also knows Morse code quite well. But that means separating again…

Griffin: Don’t worry about that. I’ll make sure he gets back safe.

HOLY SHIT

So I’m really really enjoying @mayhemchicken / @lxgentlefolkcomic ‘s comic “The League of Extraordinary Gentlefolk” which is everything I wanted the Moore comic to be (e.g. actually faithful to the characters personalities in the canon books) and so of course I had to design a fancy cover for it xD

The profiles are of the characters that have been said to make up the main team in the comic (not all have shown up yet) but there’s Irene Adler-Norton on top, the two happily married Harkers side by side beneath her, the Invisible Man in the middle with Dr Seward on the right and Dr Jekyll (with the shadow of Hyde) on the left and Capt. Nemo in the bottom!

Please go check out the comic @lxgentlefolkcomic , it’s on its first chapter and already soooo good!

Panel 1

(n/a)

Panel 2

Godfrey: So Professor Aronnax was the one the Captain spoke of…he was so sure that he had spread his secrets!  Yet love kept his lips sealed…

Jack:  It doesn’t disprove Captain Nemo’s theory of another submarine, but it makes it far less likely.

Arthur:  Where does that leave us?

Panel 3

Jonathan:  We follow the clues we have.  I told the Captain that we would search on land while he searches the ocean—

Jonathan: He even gave me this.

Panel 4

Jonathan: He said that once we activate it, he could trace its signal anywhere in the world.

Griffin:  You can’t be serious!  That such a thing is possible—Did he give you just the one?  If not I could disassemble—

Panel 5

Quincey:  But first we need something to report. Seems like this tiger-head ship’s the ticket.

Irene:  It didn’t seem relevant before, but a ship of that description passed us by after the storm.  Lord Godalming, you mentioned you knew the owner?

Panel 6

Arthur: Colonel Sebastian Moran: big-game hunter and top-notch tosser.

Panel 7

Arthur:  But beyond that, I don’t know much about the man. We don’t quite mingle in the same company.

Irene:  A pity Mr. Holmes is out of the country. He and Dr. Watson were engaged by some lord to look into some odd tomb-robbings in Bavaria.

Mina:  Irene—Yes, please come in.

Panel 3

Irene:  Did you sleep well?

Mina:  A little.  I had…strange dreams.  I figured I could go over my notes in the meantime, but…

Panel 4

Mina:  What about you?

Irene:  Much the same.  I—

Quincey (offscreen):  You ladies awake?  We got news for y’all!

Panel 5

Arthur:  A telegram just came!  They’re at Whitby now!

Quincey:  They’re on their way home!  All three of them!

Panel 6

Griffin:  It’s about bloody time! 

Panel 7

Quincey:  They should be here in a few hours!  C’mon, let’s go get decked out for ‘em.

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Quincey: There’s somethin’ I don’t get. Why’s the professor so tight-lipped about it all? With a story like that, he’d be known the world over.

Panel 2

Jekyll: I hesitate to discuss it in…mixed company.

Mina: I assure you, Doctor, it will go no further than this room.

Panel 3

Jekyll: Very well. To put it delicately, the French are…somewhat more liberal on certain matters than the English. I believe the professor was…very fond of the captain.

Panel 4

Griffin: It would take a lot more than fondness to keep a secret like that! Maybe bribery? Blackmail?

Irene: He means they were in love, Griffin.

Griffin: Ohh! Then why didn’t you just say so?

Panel 5

Jekyll: I, er, I felt it was…I mean…I didn’t wish to shock anyone…

Panel 6

Mina: That is hardly a shock, Dr. Jekyll. That is, let’s say I have encountered it before.

Jekyll: Who would you know…

Panel 7

Quincey: Oh, she knows a few.

Jekyll: I-I see.

Panel 8

Griffin: Wwwait, you two—?

Arthur: Three, once we save Jack.

Panel 9

Jekyll: I see…Lord Godalming, Mr. Morris, your secret is safe with me.

Quincey: Much obliged, Doc. Now, this Captain Nemo…

Griffin (offscreen): All three of you!? You’ve certainly kept things under tight wraps since I’ve been here…

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Jekyll: This diary… has been most elucidating, I will not deny. It certainly explains the attacks of a few years ago, but not the most recent attacks.

Irene (offscreen): Why not?

Panel 2

Jekyll: That greenish substance, for one. You mentioned it was found on the wreckage of these attacks, but the good professor makes no mention of it—only of an electric light, which would leave no such residue.

Panel 3

Irene: A light—! I thought I saw one beneath the water during the storm, when we were trying to find…

Mina: Please, Dr. Jekyll, tell us all you can.

Panel 5

Panel 4

Jekyll: *sigh* Very well. As you suspected, Mrs. Norton, there is far more to Professor Aronnax’s journey than he has shared publicly, beginning from the moment he was lost overboard.

Jekyll, narrating: They were saved in an extraordinary fashion—brought aboard a vessel that travels under the sea. The captain, who called himself ‘Nemo’, was… a queer fellow, with many secrets. He refused to release them, lest the secret of his existence be discovered.

Panel 6

Griffin: A submarine! The old man’s less dull than I thought! How’d he get away, after all that?

Jekyll: He released them, though not until after seriously endangering their lives.

Panel 7

Jekyll, narrating: The three men were treated well—the professor most of all. Yet while voyaging near the South Pole, the ship became trapped under the ice, and the professor nearly suffocated. The captain became moody and avoided their company; then without explanation, freed them on an island off the coast of South America.

Panel 1

Griffin:  Ugh, I think I caught another cold…

Panel 2

Mina: You look like you’re not having much luck.

Irene:  I never imagined such an academic-sounding diary. There are tenses here I’ve never even heard before.  I’m better with spoken French.

Panel 3

Jekyll: You’ve never read a book in French?

Irene: Certainly nothing like this!  It’s half a novel, half scientific gobbledygook.  What about you?

Panel 4

Jekyll: Well, I’ve read a few scientific papers and a novel or two, but…

Panel 5

Jekyll: …No!  I told you, I won’t be party to this intrusion!

Panel 6

Mina: Doctor, I don’t like it either…but if he knows something, we could save lives, and not just our husbands’.

Panel 7

Mina:  We’ll minimize exposure.  You don’t have to translate all of it, not the most private parts.  And once you’ve finished, we’ll take it right back.

Jekyll:  Fine, fine.  I’ll skim through it for anything useful.

Irene: <Is it so late already?  Oh, how the time flies!  Thank you so much, both of you, but I’m afraid I must go, or I will miss the ferry back to England!>

Panel 2

Conseil: <“It is still early, and there are more ferries through the day; won’t you finish your tea?>

Irene:  <I am sorry, I have some errands yet to run while I am in Paris.>

Panel 3

Aronnax:  <Of course, madame.  It was a pleasure to have you visit.  Should you come by Paris again, do bring your charming husband!>

Panel 4

Irene: You weren’t supposed to take it!

Panel 5

Griffin:  I couldn’t read it—I didn’t know it would be in French!

Panel 6

Irene:  I told you he only spoke French.

Griffin:  But you didn’t say his diary—

Panel 7

Irene: His diary would be even more likely to be in French!  Why suggest the idea if you couldn’t read the language?

Panel 8

Griffin: …I didn't think that far ahead.

Mina:  It’s not ideal, but our situation is desperate…

Panel 2

Arthur:  Should we call the locksmith again this time?

Quincey:  Reckon folks’ll know a professor’s office more than an old shack…

Panel 3

Griffin:  Once again, you’ll see the benefit to being an ally of The Invisible Man!

Jekyll:  The rest of you may do as you please, but I will have no part of it!

Panel 4

Irene:  I’ve certainly done worse.

Griffin:  And I’ve done worse still!  Besides, we don’t have to take it, just read it—he’ll never know!

Panel 5

Jekyll: And why do you care, Mr. Griffin, since you disavow all friendship?

Griffin: The first man not to come at me with a damned torch and pitchfork…Fine!

Panel 6

Griffin: You’ve wrested it out of me! Is it so surprising I don’t want to see that bleeding heart dead? Even that simpering doctor friend of his; surely I owe them both in, in a purely transactional sense!

Panel 7

Mina: Mr. Griffin, I had no idea…

Irene: Let’s go, before any of us loses our nerve!

Aronnax, offscreen:  <And how is our dear Ned?>

Conseil, offscreen:  <He is well, although still won’t touch seafood.  He plans to visit next week while in town, if Monsieur wishes.>

Panel 3

Aronnax, offscreen:  <That would be lovely!>

Griffin:  Two of them?  You didn’t say—

Irene:  Bonjour, Monsieur le Professeur!

Panel 4

Aronnax:  <Ah, Mrs. Norton!  Welcome!  I hope your trip was pleasant.  This is my worthy assistant, Conseil.>

Panel 5

Irene:  <A pleasure.>

Conseil:  <Likewise, Madam.  If you’ll excuse me, I’ll fetch tea.>

Panel 6

Aronnax:  <I see we do not have the pleasure of your husband’s company today.  Was he not able to come?>

Irene:  <No, he’s…He’s gone.  He had business to attend to.>
