Dr. Jekyll et Mr. Hyde

Guido Crepax’s starkly elegant black-and-white art reimagines Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic as a psychological and erotic thriller in this 2015 graphic novel from Actes Sud. Originally published in the 1980s, the story distills the duality of Victorian London into Crepax’s signature, dreamlike panels, where the line between Jekyll’s repression and Hyde’s liberation blurs. A single, self-contained issue, it stands as a distinctive, European take on a timeless horror fable.
