Who is the mysterious Mr Hyde, who stalks the streets of Victorian London at night committing indescribable crimes? And why does he have such a hold over the famous and respectable Dr Henry Jekyll? As the mystery unfolds, a shocking truth emerges... This engaging story is presented as an exciting and fast-paced graphic novel which remains faithful to Robert Louis Stevenson's original text.
Specially commissioned full-colour artwork brings excitement and atmosphere to this classic tale. Speech bubbles work with the main text to emphasise and enhance the retelling. A running glossary at the foot of each page helps young readers with any challenging vocabulary without disrupting their reading experience.
The highly visual nature of comic book storytelling, small amounts of text and easy-to-follow sequential ordering of the picture strips are a brilliant way for young readers who're challenged or intimidated by reading to improve their literacy skills.
This is Book 14 in the Classic Comix Series. See all Classic Comix books here.
