The story lends itself perfectly to retelling in graphic novel form. In adopting this format, the book is designed to reach a whole new readership. RL Stevenson already has huge Classic appeal – this interpretation, in content and design spans the pre-teens, teens and graphic novel markets.

The second stunning graphic novel interpretation of an RL Stevenson Classic from the creative comic books ‘dream team’ of Cam Kennedy and Alan Grant, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde follows their acclaimed version of Kidnapped – The Graphic Novel.

Good and evil, right and wrong, joy and despair are seen through the eyes of John Utterson, a lawyer and friend of the scientist, Dr. Henry Jekyll. After relating the alarming account of an angry man assaulting and trampling a small girl ‘like some damned Juggernaut’, he begins to investigate the odd behaviour of his friend. As he probes further he uncovers a terrifying and horrific story.
