In crime-ravaged 1980s New York, a troubled ex-cop turned unlicensed detective takes on his most dangerous case, hunting down a serial killer-hitman, and ultimately coming face-to-face with his deadliest enemy, himself, in John K. Snyder III's graphic novel adaptation of the celebrated story by Lawrence Block. Steeped in traditional pulp, Block's writing has a true gift for capturing the art of conversation between his characters. These are the lowlifes of society, for whom Block occasionally finds redemption, but who are more often among the vilest beings in human existence. Snyder's art both encapsulates and elevates these rough-cut gems in a graphic, grainy, and moody setting that evokes the dark, noir magazine covers of the period.

En guise de trésor, le docteur Jekyll parvient à mettre au point une mixture louche qui lui permet d'être tour à tour ange ou démon. Au fil de lettres et de meurtres mystérieux, l'avoué Charles Utterson enquête sur la liaison étrange qui semble unir Edward Hyde et le Docteur Henry Jekyll. Cette œuvre majeure de la littérature d'épouvante, d'une écriture très fine et imagée, développe une intrigue riche et sujette à tous les fantasmes de l'inconscient. Sous la bride des mœurs hypocrites de la société victorienne, Jekyll est M.Hyde : par-delà le bien et le mal. John K. Snyder III signe avec cette adaptation son chef d'œuvre graphique. Violentes stylisées, ses quarantes-quatre planches aux couleurs intenses nous plongent dans les bas-fonds poisseux de Londres, nouvelle Babylone industrielle. John K.Snyder III retranscrit au cordeau l'intensité narrative de la nouvelle pour fixer dans nos rêves sa vision de l'étrange cas. Dr Jekyll et M. Hyde est accompagné d'une musique originale de Bruno Riou-Maillard.

Adapted and illustrated by John K. Snyder III--best known for his popular comic book works, Grendel and Prowler--this is Joseph Conrad's haunting, suspenseful masterpiece which was the forerunner of the espionage thriller. Snyder also adapted and illustrated the Classics Illustrated version of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde.

Dr. Jekyll, a brilliant scientist, is transformed by a self-administered drug into the twisted Mr. Hyde, the incarnation of evil. Presented in comic book format.
