Details

When Dr. Frankenstein is saved by a ship near the North Pole, he seems delusional-he insists he's trailing a monster that must be destroyed. Frankenstein tells the sailors an unbelievable tale: he claims to have constructed a creature and brought it to life, only to have the creature demand that he build it a bride. When the doctor refused, the monster vowed revenge and began to destroy those whom Frankenstein cared about most. This graphic novel retelling is a close adaptation of Mary Shelley's original. Full-color illustrations.
