Summary

As relevant today as when Wells wrote it in 1896, this graphic novel adaptation addresses the question all scientists should ask themselves: "Just because we can do something, does that mean we should?"

Diablo House writer/co-creator Ted Adams joins Locke & Key artist/co-creator Gabriel Rodriguez to present an all-new version of H.G. Wells' classic science fiction novel. This bold adaptation gives us a new protagonist in the form of Ellen Prendick, whose point of view shines a new light upon the horrific events on the cursed island, providing unique insights into one of the world's favorite stories.
