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.
Ted Adams is the founder of IDW Publishing. He is also the Chairman of Traveling Stories, a San Diego-based non-profit that helps children in underserved communities fall in love with reading. His previous books include stories in Doomed, the graphic novel adaptation of Richard Matheson's The Shrinking Man, and the horror anthology Diablo House.
Born in Santiago, Chile, Gabriel Rodriguez began working as an illustrator in the late 90s and in 2002 started drawing books for IDW Publishing, including CSI, George Romero's Land of the Dead, Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show, and Beowulf, amongst others. In 2007, he co-created with Joe Hill the award-winning series Locke & Key. He continued developing other creator-owned projects: the Eisner-winning Little Nemo: Return to Slumberland, with Eric Shanower, and the gritty sci-fi adventure Onyx, with Chris Ryall. In 2016, he partnered with Hill once again for a comic adaptation of Hill's teleplays for a new version of Tales from the Darkside, as well as for a new Locke & Key story, "Small World." His current project is Sword of Ages, a fantasy adventure series he is creating, writing and drawing. He lives in Santiago with his wife, Catalina, and their kids, Jose Manuel, Matias, and Gabriel.
