Steve Niles (w) • Bernie Wrightson (a & c)
Few works by comic-book artists have earned the universal acclaim
and reverence that Bernie Wrightson’s illustrated version of
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Frankenstein was met with upon
its original release in 1983.
Nearly 30 years later, Wrightson returns to his passion project
with a comic series that picks up at the end of the classic novel,
hailed as one of the greatest horror stories of all time. Frequent
Wrightson collaborator Steve Niles provides the script for this
epic, decades in the making.
While appearing to be in black and white, each page was scanned in
color to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the
actual original art, showing off the exquisitely detailed brush
work of one of the greatest living artists in comics today.
Each issue will also include supplemental materials, including
interviews, essays and a serialization of the original prose story
by Shelley.
