Doktor Jekyll & Mister Hyde

A single, striking 2002 graphic novel from Carlsen Comics, this German-language adaptation distills Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic horror novella into a moody visual experience. Writer Jerry Kramsky and artist Lorenzo Mattotti collaborate to emphasize the psychological duality of the story, with Mattotti’s expressionistic, textured artwork bringing a haunting, almost painterly quality to the streets of Victorian London. It stands as a notable European graphic novel interpretation of a literary staple, showcasing the power of sequential art to reinterpret a familiar tale.
