(Since jekyll and hyde are two of my characters in my oc world has lots of art. I have more but that would take a while) I discovered it when i found otherwise on DA and it went down hill from their. I discovered confrontation, and i actually found it through Inkpotts.

Oh, I discovered it because two certain best friends of mine forced me to listen to confrontation until I didn't laugh when I heard it.

Ahm, hey. I have a bit of an issue with something you drew. Hyde as a nazi. Generally, I don't like nazies shown in any kind of positive light. That includes drawing characters that we are supposed to like and sympathize with as nazies. They are real life monsters. Their ideology still lingers and they still pose a threat to real people. From the looks of it, it's Sabrina's Hyde that you've drawn. It kinda makes it worse, given that he is canonically bisexual. He's the kind of person nazies would deem abnormal and to be killed. Also, this Hyde exists in the same Universe as Rachel, who's Romani. She belongs to a group of people that the nazies sought to exterminate. I really, really, don't think you should draw any of the TGS characters as nazies. (For that matter, I don't understand why anyone would want to associate a character they like or anything positive with nazism.)

So sorry I'm late!!! I have to say the J+H fandom is amazing and the original book was brilliant! Thank you Stevenson for making such a relate-able book even to us decades in the future and may the love for it never die!
I discovered it first through The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen but feel in love with it through TGS.

I discovered Jekyll and Hyde by happenstance.
Back in (I forget) sixth or seventh grade, I had unfortunately forgotten I had a book report to do, and didn't remember until 7 or 8 p.m. the night before it was due. I had no time to read any book AND do the report, and thought I was up a creek without a paddle. Luckily, a cartoon version of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde happened to come on TV at just that moment. I thought, "Hey, isn't that a book?" so I watched it and based the report on it. Luckily for me, it either stuck pretty closely to Stevenson or else my teacher hadn't read the book either, because I got an "A" on the report. Being the nerd that I am, I decided to read the novella afterward, on my own time.
As a young (and impressionable) teen, I was lucky enough to see Bob Cuccioli in the title role of Jekyll & Hyde on Broadway. That pretty well cemented it. I reread the book at that time also.

I have, shortly after finding TGS. I was literally exhausted from laughing the first time I watched it!

I know it's so funny! Our Hyde may be an imoral degenerate, but at least he doesn't waste good silverware! XD

I first came upon BBC's Jekyll in 7th grade (I think), and became a bit obsessed with the story and concept of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as a result. I read the book and found a couple of documentaries about RLS on youtube, aswell as some of the film versions. Most interpretations of Jekyll and Hyde as characters fell flat for me though.
I'd sort of lost interest for a while, but it came back with TGS. It actually made me more interested in a lot things.
Plus, it's nice to geek out over it with other people this time.

I started with TGS. I discovered TGS through seeing an advert on another webcomic's site - I think it was "Widdershins", which is a great comic too - and had a look at it because I always love Victorian-set fantasy. I wasn't sure about it when I saw that it was based on Jekyll and Hyde - I only knew what that was vaguely by hearsay and had an impression it was really grisly - but I gave it a try because it looked so good. (The fact that Sabrina or somebody referred to "The Extraordinary and Unusual Adventures of Horatio Lyle" somewhere in the first few pages encouraged me. Has anyone else here read that?) 
Well, as you know I did indeed love it, and eventually out of curiosity got the original book out of the library and found it quite different to what I'd thought it was.
