Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Classics Illustrated)

The story and these drawings terrified me when I was a boy. It was fun to find this again and wallow in the degradation and horrors of the Stevneson story, brought vividly to life by the drawings. One of the great comics.

A faithful and very well produced telling of one of the worlds greatest stories. I give this as a gift often to my friends kids. You cannot miss with the Classics Illustrated series.

Perfect for gifting

Well, it's a great reprint of the original edition. It includes commentary about the book, and it's a great addition to my library.

Atty. Mr. Utterson is worried, as the keeper of Dr. Henry Jekyll's will. The will gives everything to Edward Hyde incase of Henry's death or disappearance. Mr. Utterson met the hideous Hyde once and does not trust him. Well, it looks like Henry's will, will have to be executed as the housekeeper; Mr. Pool thinks Hyde hid Henry's body.Once again, I saw Spencer Tracy before I read the book, so I was anticipating a different type of story. I read "Treasure Island" so I am familiar with Stevenson's writing style but I did not realize that this story was more of a mystery that draws the conclusion and revelation in the end. The explanation of man and his duel personality is excellent and I suspect he draws on personal experience.I read the kindle version. It was sparse and straight forward; there was not a lot of fluff and speculation from other personalities. I made sure that the text-to-speech was activated before purchasing. This helped but I had to keep reminding myself that the names were mispronounced.In any event, without the kindle, I probably would have bought the book but not gotten around to reading it for a few years. Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Double Feature (1932/1941)

I only stumbled across these recently. Being a great lover of classics I have read many of them as the original books. But these are great to collect. Even my husband (who does not read a lot) likes them.
