Classics Illustrated #7: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Classics Illustrated Graphic Novels, 7) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Not only was Stevenson's novel the inspiration for The Incredible Hulk, but Alan Moore enlisted Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in his original graphic novel series, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. This adaptation by Grendel artist John K. Snyder III is true to the spirit of the original Robert Louis Stevenson novel of a man's experiments to plumb the depths of a fractured psyche, and stands by itself as a fantastic thrilling adventure.

Reviews
For readers used to considering Stevenson’s story from the good doctor’s point of view, this faithful adaptation from the Classics Illustrated series will be a minor revelation. Pieced together from a number of narrators, the story feels more convoluted than it is, and the wordiness will threaten to break the backs of reluctant readers. Those who dig words like troglodytic, though, will have a field day, and Snyder’s geometric, neon-colored art often sizzles from the page. Obviously, the twist will surprise no one, so it’s a good thing this is weighty enough, and original enough, to succeed on its own merits. Grades 5-8. --Daniel Kraus
