Jekyll and Hyde (Bang editions, 2021)
London, at the end of the 19th century.
The respectable and benevolent Dr. Jekyll conducts secret experiments in his laboratory. Meanwhile the mysterious and malevolent Mr Hyde, who claims to be his protégé, spreads terror in the city. Sir Utterson, a faithful friend of Jekyll, troubled by certain details, wonders. How can two beings so radically opposed coexist under the same roof?
Tyto Alba deftly adapts all the darkness and complexity of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel, a major 19th‑century work that sits between thriller and psychological essay.
After starting out as a painter, Tyto Alba becomes a illustrator for the press and for animation for several years before turning to comics., Tante Wussi (Steinkis 2017) La casa azul that evokes Frida Kahlo (Vertige Graphic 2014) and La Vida that evokes Pablo Picasso (Vertige Graphic, 2016)
Fellini in Rome and Balthus, el Conde de Rola (Astiberri, between 2017 and 2018)
