Hyde

In this stylish French thriller from Casterman, a contemporary detective is haunted by the legacy of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale, as a series of brutal murders in modern-day Paris seems to echo the duality of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The series’ single issue, published in 2011, is a self-contained, atmospheric exploration of identity and monstrosity, penned by writer Pierre-Emmanuel Dautremer with evocative art by Fabrice Meddour. Its concise, standalone format makes it a potent, unsettling read for fans of psychological crime fiction.
