Synopsis

Some of the greatest works of nineteenth-century literature are reimagined for a new generation with the new Classics Illustrated volumes. Rick Geary adapts one of H.G. Wells’ science-fiction sagas, The Invisible Man, as a young scientist experiments upon himself, then becomes invisible and mad, imprisoned in a nightmare of his own making. All the inspired lunacy of Lewis Carroll's classic book, Through the Looking Glass, comes alive in a madcap adaptation by Kyle Baker that turns the surreal story into an endlessly beautiful graphic novel.

About this title

Review:

"A gripping version of this pioneering work of science fiction. The narrative is quick paced and absorbing and the artwork stunningly lush." --School Library Journal

Synopsis:

One of the most gripping of H.G. Wells' science-fiction sagas, "The Invisible Man" is the story of a brilliant young scientist who impetuously experiments upon himself, and then becomes invisible and mad, imprisoned in a nightmare of his own making. A spellbinding and unforgettable fantasy, it also provides a lesson in the calamity that can result when knowledge is used towards a corrupt end. Eisner-Award winner Rick Geary's fanciful artwork captures the tragedy and irony of Wells' fascinating tale.
