IDW Publishing has announced a new two-issue comic series based on H.G. Wells’ novel The Island of Dr. Moreau, written by IDW founder and former CEO Ted Adams. This will be Adams’ first project since taking a sabbatical in July 2018 (see “TV Exec Replaces Adams as IDW CEO”). Both parts will be illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez (Locke & Key), with colors by Nelson Dániel and letters by Robbie Robbins.

The Island of Dr. Moreau will be an all-new interpretation of the original novel, featuring a new character, Ellen Prendick, as the series’ protagonist. The story will be told through the use of double-page spreads throughout its entirety.
