Two tie-in books were released -- ''Wishbone Classics'' #8: ''The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'', featuring a less compressed adaptation of the original story with comments by Wishbone rather than the modern-day segments; and ''The Adventures of Wishbone'' #14: ''Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Dog'', a straight adaptation of the episode.
