Great for age 12-18 years
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.

Robert Louis Stevenson is perhaps best-known today for 'Treasure Island' and 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'. John K. Snyder III began his career as an artist for DC Comics and Eclipse Comics on multiple titles. He first reached national acclaim with his illustrations of "The Prowler" and Matt Wagner's "Grendel" series. He is perhaps best known for his work on the DC series "Suicide Squad," though many fans consider his work on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to be his best to date. He is currently at work on a 3-part Batman miniseries for DC comics.
