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.
One of three Signature Select Classics chapbooks steeped in the
thrills and chills of the gothic tradition, publishing
simultaneously with chapbooks of similarly weird works by Edgar
Allan Poe and H. P. Lovecraft. This stunning chapbook--perfect for
fans of the mysterious and macabre--comprises Mary Shelley's
classic tale of a botched experiment in immortality, "The Mortal
Immortal," and "On Ghosts: An Essay," her appraisal of popular
ghost legends. It features elegantly designed cardstock covers with
flaps and intricate foil-stamped designs.
