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
內容簡介:
This classic tale is a favorite of comics fans. Not only is it
the inspiration for The Incredible Hulk, but Alan Moore,
writercreator of the best-selling Watchmen graphic novel, used Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in his original graphic novel series, The
League of Extraordinary Gentleman, thus making this CLASSICS
ILLUSTRATED version of the original novel sort of an "origin" story
for the monstrous Mr. Hyde. Likewise, CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #2,
which featured fellow LOEG member "The Invisible Man," will also
appeal to fans of Mr. Moore''s Victorian Age super-hero team. Of
course, this adaptation by "Batman" and "Grendel" artist J.K.
Snyder is true to the spirit of the original Robert Louis Stevenson
novel, and stands by itself as a fantastic thrilling adventure.
