About the series
In 2019, IDW adapted H.G. Wells's classic sci-fi horror novel into a taut two-issue comic miniseries, anchored by the moody, detailed artwork of Gabriel Rodriguez. The story faithfully follows the shipwrecked Edward Prendick's encounter with the mad surgeon Dr. Moreau and his grotesque, surgically altered beast-people on a remote island. This edition distills the novel's themes of ethics, identity, and the thin line between human and animal into a compact, visually striking package. It's a concise but faithful entry for fans of literary horror and Rodriguez's distinctive style.
