Dr. Jekyll is an upstanding gentleman, a philanthropist, and a well-respected member of society. So why is he linked to the young Mr. Hyde, an unpleasant man of dubious morals and hideous appearance? That is precisely what Jekyll's lawyer, Mr. Utterson, sets out to discover.
Utterson's enquiries lead him deep into the foggy streets of London, and before he knows it, he is on the hunt for a murderer. But all is not quite what it seems, and he begins to suspect that much darker forces are at play...
This murky tale of human nature's capacity for evil is given an new lease on life by Robert Smith's vivid illustrations in this graphic adaptation of Stevenson's iconic horror novella. Also included is the short story, "The Body Snatcher," a gruesome tale of grave robbery and deception based on the real-life exploits of the infamous Burke and Hare.
