Mark Twain’s The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg is getting a graphic novel adaptation
Humanoids has announced a brand new graphic novel adaptation of Mark Twain’s The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg, by the great American novelist Mark Twain, writer and illustrator Wander Antunes, and translated by Benjamin Croze, skillfully adapting the famous short story by Twain originally published in Harper’s Monthly in 1899. Available in stores November 2023.
Welcome to Hadleyburg, a small American town that calls itself the “Most Honest in America.”
One day, a stranger arrives, telling the townsfolk he wants to reward the person who helped him when he was down on his luck.
He presents one of the townsfolk with a bag and a letter that explains its contents – $40,000 to the stranger’s mysterious benefactor, if only they can prove themselves by reciting the words that turned his life around!
But the stranger has ulterior motives. Having once been wronged by the people of Hadleyburg, he has returned to put their “honesty” to the test. Will the people of the town give in to their greed? Will their virtue stand?
