Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:

Mary Shelley’s original novel, “Frankenstein: Or the Modern Prometheus” is not only a masterwork of horror, but it’s also considered to be one of the earliest science fiction stories ever.  Even today, its themes of man exerting god-like powers in order to create life from death remain a passionately debated topic as modern science continues its experiments with cloning, DNA, and stem cells.  Marion Mousse brings the story of Dr. Victor Frankenstein and his tragic monster to frightening new life in this all-new comics adaptation, with dark and brooding artwork that appeals to today’s fans of cutting-edge graphic novels.  With the greater page length the CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED DELUXE provides, so much more of the original novel is part of the adaptation, which quite possibly makes this the best comics version yet.





Customer Reviews
User popularity level: out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent artistic atmosphere
This new series of Classics Illustrated Deluxe volumes is not only an excellent introduction to famous books, but is an artistic landscape that really impresses. This latest effort has a gloomy and foreboding look to it, completely in keeping with the type of story one reads. The panels are darkish and the drawings full of an underlying menace. It doesn't "pretty up" what is a classdic tale, and one that most modern readers do not know, having been raised on Hammer Films and Boris Karloff pictures (not to mention "Young Frankenstein"). I've never read the original work, but own the original Classics Illustrated version of the book and, believe me, this new one is very different!It tells the tale as it was written, with no additions or deletions to change the tenor or mood. It's a scary story and this graphic novel brings the story back to its roots, and that is a very good thing. I can only hope that future volumes in this series live up to the high standards set by the very first three issues.
