Prospero's Men is the name assigned to the first-documented incarnation of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in the graphic novels of that name by Alan Moore.

Formed in 1610 by Prospero from William Shakespeare's The Tempest, alongside that play's other two characters Ariel and Caliban, and Orlando from Virginia Woolf's Orlando: A Biography; plus other members throughout the 17th century, including Robert Owe-much from Richard Head's The Floating Island, Don Quixote, the titular character from Miguel de Cervantes' "The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha", Amber St. Clair from Kathleen Winsor's Forever Amber and Christian from John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, the group sailed to a venue called The Blazing World, but disbanded in 1682 when Christian left Earth to live in the Blazing World. Prospero apparently followed Christian into the Blazing World in 1696.
