Our Comic-Con coverage continues as we spoke with the SVP of Scott Free, Tom Moran. Fans were given their first look at Mechanical Cake’s graphic novel, HYDE.
Created by Jesse Negron, HYDE picks up Mr. Hyde’s story, from the Robert Louis Stevenson novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and imagines a world where Mr. Hyde has defeated Jekyll. Now unencumbered by interruptions from his alter ego, Hyde can finally freely explore his dark tendencies with uninhibited abandon. The 2-volume graphic novel series finds Mr. Hyde in his new domain, the sewers beneath London, where he experiments on others, using the corrupting serum to create even more “Hydes.” Each volume in the series will contain two chapters with over two hundred pages. Johnny Depp will have input on all aspects of the property and create the character of Hyde.
We spoke with Moran on the collaboration between Mechanical Cake, Scott Free, and Depp, and find out how this partnership started. We also talked about his time on the CBS series, “Numb3rs.” He even gave some insight on what fans were expecting to see during their Hall H panel.
