I have seen that the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde parody has been treading lately so I decided to post some highlights from this story here!
THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. RATKYLL AND MR HYDE
The story starts with Goofy and Fethry, acquaintances of Dr Ratkyll, strolling in the streets of London
There are also Hewey, Lewey and Dewey as three little orphan children, first victims of Donald Hyde’s fury
Goofy witnesses the event and can’t help but think about it, intrigued by Mr. Hyde
(Plus, Goofy is a lawyer in this story, a fact that I don’t know if I should consider good or bad)
Celoni’s panels leave me in such awe!
“I have to say my dear friend, for being a lawyer you are too easily influenced and not that smart”
Thank you 19th century Gyro!
Goofy takes the advice from Gyro to spy on Hyde to unveil his secret
Some more great panels from Celoni
This one particularly caught my eye
A heated argument between Dr. Ratkyll and 19th century Gyro
There’s also Scrooge as Hyde’s second victim (okay the victim was his No 1 Dime, but still)
The police gets involved in this strange case (without any effect though)
Those atmospheric night scenes!
And the first part ends with something I like to call “the best panel in the story”
Just notice how the smoke turns into his claws and teeth! Celoni at his finest!
In the second part, Hyde meets Gyro
He threatens him causing him to flee the country (looks like “instinct” wins this round)
Goofy and Ratkyll continue their meetings which leads to…
The moment of realisation!
Goofy now knows that something links Ratkyll and Hyde, a fact that leads him to grab an ax, smash a door and go confront his friend (in a very agressive way)
Plus, this is the first time Hyde’s face is actuallt seen (I couldn’t help but laugh, Donald is so suitable for the part)
THE INFAMOUS TRANSFORMATION
So, like this everything gets back to normal
Goofy saves his friend, Gyro is still and the other side of the world, the victims are recompensated and Ratkyll makes public his discovery at his university (which contrary to his fellow Frankenstein, he did finish) and gains lots of fame!
This story is actually amazing and a great (more cheerful) adaptation of the original. Bruno Enna did an excellent job destributing the roles and adapting the script for an audience of all ages.
As for Fabio Celoni’s art, well, the breathtaking result can be seen!
