In "The Island of Dr. Moreau," writer Roy Thomas and artist Steve Pugh launch a bold, pulpy twist on classic horror, as young Mr. Carr stumbles upon a remote island where the mad scientist Dr. Moreau has forged a terrifying menagerie of animal-human amalgams. With the island’s creatures now unleashed into the world, Moreau seeks to prove his experiments’ worth by deploying them in a grim hunt for Jack the Ripper—bringing monstrous science face-to-face with one of history’s most infamous killers. The story’s eerie tone and striking visuals, rendered in full by Steve Pugh and colored by Patricia Mulvihill and Digital Chameleon, make this a standout entry in the JLA series, with a cover by Steve Pugh that captures the tale’s unsettling grandeur.
