ON THE COVER:“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,”
a 1:12-scale, doll by IGMA Fellow Marcia Backstrom. Ms.
Backstrom says that a conversation with her manager, Mark
Shotts, about good and evil led her to create the doll.
Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 novel, “The
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” her two-faced
creation brings a satisfying chill when viewed with a mirror
behind it. See more Halloween-themed dolls and miniatures
in Martha Puff’s Collectors’ Gallery, starting
on page 52.
