agreed to honor his contracts with Lee, but made it clear that he wished to continue to have no dealings with DC directly. The fifth issue of the first volume contained an authentic vintage advertisement for a douche with the brand name Marvel Douche. The entire initial print run was destroyed and reprinted because the publisher felt that this could be perceived as an attack on Marvel Comics, DC's main competition. After several additional complaints over DC interference, Moore decided to wind up his ABC projects, intending to only continue with League (the only title he, with O'Neill, actually owned). He subsequently took offense at inaccurate comments made by the producer of the film version of his V for Vendetta, which stated that the author—who had distanced himself completely from film adaptations of his work, particularly after LXG—had commented favorably on a draft of the script. Moore requested that someone involved with the film's production company—and DC Comics parent company, Warner Bros.—officially retract the comments and apologize. He also claims that his lack of support from DC regarding a minor lawsuit related to the film adaptation of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was instrumental in his departure. When no such apology was forthcoming, both Moore and O'Neill decided to withdraw future volumes of the League from DC in protest. Since the duo was still working on the Black Dossier at the time, it was agreed that it would become the last League project published by DC/WildStorm, with subsequent projects published jointly by Top Shelf Productions and Knockabout Comics in the US and UK respectively, who published both Volume III: Century, and the Nemo Trilogy, as graphic novella trilogies. Top Shelf and Knockabout later released Volume IV: The Tempest first as a six-issue limited series. Reprints of Volumes I-II and the Dossier were published by Vertigo until its shutdown in January 2020.

This Almanac provides background information — much of which is taken from the pre-existing literary works or mythology and may be difficult to fully appreciate without an esoteric knowledge of literature. It shows the plot of the comic to be just a small section of a world inhabited by what appears to be the entirety
