Humanoids announced it is adapting Mark Twain’s The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg as a new graphic novel arriving in November 2023.
Here is the description of the story if you have not read it before:
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?
The adaptation is being handled by Wander Antunes and will be available in November 2023.
