Zusatztext "It is good to see that C. E. L. Welsh's adaptation of the story for the Campfire Graphic Classic Novel series does nothing to dumb down the book and its themes. It follows the well-known story of the good doctor who discovers a drug that to his horror unleashed the evil beast inside him! and who is unable to control his other self closely and sets up the moral questions the story raises with some clarity. ... This is a dark story and that darkness is emphasized in the illustrations of Lalit Kumar Sharma." — Jack Goodstein! Blogcritics "I highly recommend Campfire’s comics. They do what they are intended to do and do it in a way that excites kids about classic literature." — Chris Wilson! The Graphic Classroom (a resource for teachers and librarians) Informationen zum Autor Robert Louis Stevenson; adapted by CEL Welsh; illustrated by Lalit Kumar Sharma Klappentext Bold visionary, Henry Jekyll, believes he can use his scientific knowledge to divide a person into two beings--one of pure good and one of pure evil. Working tirelessly in his secret laboratory, concocting a potion that would tear at the core of what makes a man human, he eventually succeeds--but only halfway. Instead of separating the good and evil halves, Jekyll isolates only the latter. What seems at first a relief to the doctor becomes a nightmare as he loses control of the transformation. His friends feel Jekyll will waste away and fear the worst. Can Jekyll undo what he has done? Or will it change things forever? Zusammenfassung Bold visionary!
