Summary

"The 'most honest town' in America is tempted by a mysterious stranger in this graphic novel adaptation of Mark Twain's short story, first published in Harper's Monthly in 1899. In the virtuous town of Hadleyburg, where integrity is held in highest regard, a mysterious stranger arrives with a hidden agenda. Having once been wronged by its residents, he sets in motion a cunning plan to expose the town's hypocrisy and put its incorruptibility to the test. Promising a rich reward to the person who can prove themselves its rightful recipient, the stranger's generous offer soon sends Hadleyburg into upheaval, with each citizen claiming themselves the worthy benefactor. As the town's once unbreakable moral fabric begins to unravel, and lies, betrayal, and potential ruin ensue, can a few brave individuals stand against the tides of corruption and save Hadleyburg's cherished reputation, or will the townsfolk give into their greed? Adapted from Mark Twain's gripping tale of revenge, redemption, and the fragility of righteousness, this literary classic comes to life like never before in this graphic retelling from Brazilian comics creator Wander Antunes."--, Provided by publisher
