Shelley Paperback, 48 Pages, Published 2015 by Classics Illustrated Comics ISBN-13: 978-1-906814-31-1, ISBN: 1-906814-31-7 "Frankenstein, loved by many decades of readers and praised by such eminent literary critics as Harold Bloom, seems hardly to need a recommendation. If you haven't read it recently, though, you may not remember the sweeping force of the prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multilayered doppelgänger themes of Mary Shelley's masterpiece.
