Mr. Edward Hyde

The monstrous alter ego of Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Henry Jekyll, Hyde is a physically overwhelming brute recruited into Allan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's Victorian super-team alongside Mina Murray, Captain Nemo, and Allan Quatermain to serve British intelligence.

Few literary monsters have made the leap to comics with such raw, unsettling power as Mr. Edward Hyde, who stomped onto the page in Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's landmark The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen #1 in 1999. A Modern Age creation built from Victorian literary DNA, Hyde is the kind of character who dominates every panel he inhabits, sharing those pages with an extraordinary roster that includes Wilhelmina Murray, Captain Nemo, Allan Quatermain, Hawley Griffin, and Campion Bond. Published by DC across a run from 1999 to 2002, Moore and O'Neill's reimagining of this infamous figure is essential reading — a vivid, darkly compelling reason to seek out every one of his five catalog appearances.
