Wells<\/strong>\u2019 classic science fiction novel,\u00a0<strong><em>The Island of Dr. Moreau<\/em><\/strong>. Debuting in July, the two-part comic book tale of terror and evolution will be colored by\u00a0<strong>Nelson D\u00e1niel\u00a0<\/strong>and lettered by\u00a0<strong>Robbie Robbins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWells\u2019 novel is as relevant today as when he wrote it in 1896,\u201d says Adams. \u201cIt addresses the subject of the thin line that separates men from beasts and the question that all scientists should ask themselves: \u2018Just because we can do something, does that mean we should?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Remaining faithful to Wells\u2019 plot, dialogue, and Victorian era setting, Adams and Rodr\u00edguez replaced Edward Prendick \u2013 the original witness protagonist \u2013 with a new creation, Ellen Prendick. Her inclusion allowed the creative team to explore a new version of one of the world\u2019s favorite stories through the eyes of a more active character with a different and refreshing point of view on the cursed island\u2019s horrific events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo provide a vivid, immersive experience for the reader, we set the narrative of\u00a0<em>Dr. Moreau<\/em>entirely in double-page spreads, a format that builds a rich world for the characters and presents the mystery and terror in a thrilling and concise way,\u201d says Rodr\u00edguez. \u201cWe also push the boundaries of the Beast Folk\u2019s design to a point where familiar animal shapes, imbued with traces of human expression, feel genuinely disturbing. It\u2019s been an exciting challenge to capture the fundamental wonder and horror of the novel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For information on how to preorder copies of\u00a0<strong><em>H.G.
