"The Man Who Laughs" (first published in 1869) is Victor Hugo's
scathing indictment of the injustice and inequality within
Britain's political system. It is the story of Gwynplaine, the
two-year-old heir to a rebel lord, who is abducted upon the orders
of a vindictive monarch, and whose face is mutilated into a
permanent grisly grin, then abandoned. After years of living in
poverty, Gwynplaine is reintroduced to the aristocratic life and
resolves to become the voice of the voiceless--whether he is heard
or not. Author David Hine and artist Mark Stafford introduce Hugo's
classic to a new generation of fans in this graphic-novel
adaptation of abduction, mutilation, loss, and prejudice.
