Mary Shelley's classic novel of science gone mad is brought to life in this critically acclaimed comic adaptation. Obsessed with his own mortality, young Victor Von Frankenstein discovers a means to imbue dead tissue with life. In a fit of pride, he creates an unnatural monster from fresh corpses and sets events in motion which will cost the gifted doctor his loved ones, his sanity and maybe ultimately, his life. Moonstone is proud to bring back this long out-of-print graphic novel by industry fan-favorites Powell and Olliffe.

This is actually such a good version of Frankenstein! it doesn’t simplify the story at all like most retellings do and it has a really interesting section at the end about the history of different Frankensteins. I’m a big fan!
