Frankenstein

Mary Shelley’s timeless gothic classic is beautifully illustrated in this adaptation of Frankenstein, featuring the art of legendary illustrator Bernie Wrightson and an introduction by Stephen King. Few works by comic book artists have received the acclaim that Bernie Wrightson’s illustrated version of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Frankenstein achieved upon its original release in 1983. This edition vividly presents the timeless and terrifying tale of one man’s obsession to create life—and the monster that became his legacy. A generation later, this magnificent pairing of art and literature is still regarded as one of the greatest achievements in the field.

This book includes the complete text of the original groundbreaking novel and approximately fifty original full-page illustrations by Bernie Wrightson, created over a period of seven years, which continue to captivate with their monumental beauty and uniqueness. Additionally, this edition contains introductions by #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King and author Mary Shelley, as well as supplemental material including a history of the novel, a chronology of Mary Shelley’s life and work, and the historical context of Frankenstein for readers.
