Dr. Frankenstein has created a creature. THE creature. Now it is loose, and Frankenstein is on the hunt for it before it can kill again. Review I'm a huge fan of Shelley's original work. I'm also a huge fan of graphic novels. I was excited and a bit skeptical when I found this in a used book store recently. I am really happy that I took a chance on this. The fact that Shelley's original text was used, put me at ease. Though you can get a "quick" (read: modern) text version as well. Cobley only added to a favorite classic by putting it in GN form with beautiful illustrations. The tundra climate Shelley had described in her book, and that I had created in my mind, looked nearly identical to the one Cobley created in this novel. Very well done. I am so happy I found this.
