Description
Graphic novel adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's tale in which scientist Dr. Henry Jekyll believes every human has two minds, one good and one evil. After many experiments, he develops a potion to separate them from each other. At first, he can control his transformations from good to evil, but soon his evil mind takes over and Dr. Jekyll becomes a hideous fiend known as Mr. Hyde.

Dr. Jekyll and to his "solution"; a view of the character which I consider appropriate given the self-serving nature of his "experiments" and Jekyll's initial lack of remorse for his deeds as Hyde: death and human devastation. Jekyll's end is inevitable, and it is what he deserves. Show Less
