This classic tale is a favorite of comics fans. Not only is itthe inspiration for The Incredible Hulk, but Alan Moore,writer/creator of the best-selling Watchmen graphic novel, used Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in his original graphic novel series, TheLeague of Extraordinary Gentleman, thus making this CLASSICSILLUSTRATED version of the original novel sort of an "origin" storyfor the monstrous Mr. Hyde. Likewise, CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #2,which featured fellow LOEG member "The Invisible Man," will alsoappeal to fans of Mr. Moore's Victorian Age super-hero team. Ofcourse, this adaptation by "Batman" and "Grendel" artist J.K.Snyder is true to the spirit of the original Robert Louis Stevensonnovel, and stands by itself as a fantastic thrilling adventure.
Raina just wants to be a normal sixth grader. But one night after Girl Scouts she trips and falls, severely injuring her two front teeth, and what follows is a long and frustrating journey with on-again, off-again braces, surgery, embarrassing headgear, and even a retainer with fake teeth attached. And on top of all that, there's still more to deal with: a major earthquake, boy confusion, and friends who turn out to be not so friendly. This coming-of-age true story is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever been in middle school, and especially those who have ever had a bit of their own dental drama.
