Mary Shelley's timeless gothic classic accompanied by the art of
legendary illustrator Bernie Wrightson live on in this gorgeous
illustrated adaptation of Frankenstein--featuring an introduction by
Stephen King.
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, which vividly presented the timeless, 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 considered to be one of the greatest achievements
made by any artist 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--that continue to stun the world with their monumental
beauty and uniqueness. This edition also 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.
