"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.

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?""

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.
