Kim Newman's Anno Dracula (1992)

Huh--I'd not heard of that. Sounds interesting.

Is the series ongoing or finite?

Technically, it's considered ongoing, but Moore's having his usual tangled troubles with publishers.

According to the Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Extraordinary_Gentlemen), the next part is supposed to take place in the 1950s. There's an interesting comment by Moore about the possible inclusion of William S. Burroughs' Interzone and characters from Jack Kerouac's On the Road.

Not counting the prequels, the last time I saw any of Star Wars was in high school, and my memories are fond but fragmentary.

Ah, I envy you being able to go to them that fresh.

It made me wonder how many other random character actors were floating around these films.

I marvel sometimes at the amount of good actors in those movies. Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing in the first film, a movie the studio considered a big risk . . . The interiors were mostly shot in London, so the British cast members were drawn from a bigger pool. In the second movie, director Irvin Kershner made a conscious decision to make the Imperials predominantly British and the Rebels American.
