The graphic novels feature a cast of Victorian literary characters, including Allan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, Mina Murray, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, and ‘The Invisible Man’ Hawley Griffin, who use their powers and skills to save the world from destruction. Davis Entertainment (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) is producing this new adaptation. [Variety]
