This work is an extraordinary comic book adaptation of Victor Hugo's passionate and scandalous 19th-century novel. The story follows Gwynplaine, the heir to a rebellious lord who is kidnapped and mutilated by order of a vengeful monarch, leaving him with a permanent, eerie grin. After years of hardship, Gwynplaine re-enters aristocratic life, becoming a voice for the voiceless in a biting critique of the injustice and inequality within the British political system. This version, illustrated by Mark Stafford and adapted by David Hine, is noted for its unique atmosphere, which served as inspiration for the creation of Batman's iconic Joker.
