Oct 14, 2008 · amazon. Two comic-book veterans condense Stevenson’s well-known psychological thriller into 40 pages in this slim graphic-novel adaptation. Following closely to the original, Grant’s adaptation portrays the enigmatic Dr. Jekyll, as pursued by the lawyer Mr. Utterson.
It might be significant, reading the story from a post-Freudian perspective, that Hyde is described as childlike at several points: does he embody Jekyll’s – and, indeed, man’s – deep desire to return to a time before responsibility and full maturity, when one was freer to act on impulse?
Set in Victorian London, the novella tells the story of Dr. Henry Jekyll, a well-respected scientist, and his mysterious and malevolent alter ego, Mr. Edward Hyde. Jekyll’s experiments with a potion lead to the physical and moral transformation into Hyde, an embodiment of his darker impulses.
