By John Stoker.

The most fascinating story in horror history began in 1818 when Dr. Frankenstein, with the help of Mary Shelley, created his Monster. Since then the Monster has been born again and again on the stage, screen, in magazines, comic books, and in the nightmares of terrified audiences around the world. This immensely informative and entertaining book traces the Frankenstein myth through its most frightening periods, and shows it reaching its widest influence with the eerie yet poignant portrayal of the Monster by Boris Karloff.

Over 100 photographs, some never before published, illustrate the roles the Monster has played.

Softcover, 8 -in. x 11-in., 128 pages, B&W.

Based on the Stories by Joe Frank. Adapted by Jason Novak.

Joe Frank is one of the greatest radio dramatists who ever worked in the medium. His programs, which he wrote and voiced ran from 1978 to 2018, attracting a huge following, including Francis Coppola ("I couldn't believe the originality and sheer brilliance of what I was hearing") and Charlie Kaufman ("His shows were hypnotic, psychotic, neurotic, sad, terrifying, and some of the funniest stuff I have ever heard anywhere.")

Jason Novak, author of Et Tu, Brute, has lovingly adapted six of Frank's most memorable stories into comics form, an introduction to those who have never heard Frank, and an aesthetic accompaniment to those who have.

1st printing. By Jim Woodring. Readers who haven't discovered Jim Woodring's "Frank" stories have a colossal treat waiting for them in this gem collecting the character's greatest adventures. Frank is a unique, visionary comic, exquisitely drawn and so fully realized that adults and children alike find themselves drawn deeply into Woodring's hallucinatory mindscape. The stories, almost entirely wordless, are told with brilliant, candy colors. The stories themselves unravel like a good puzzle, rewarding re-reading, providing an experience as immersive as that first love affair, that first samadhi, or that first breath. Simply put, the world of Frank must be experienced to be understood.Frank is an 11-year-old generic anthropomorph who lives in a force-laden landscape called the Unifactor. He is curious but not smart, naïve but not noble, and his most outstanding character trait is his ineducability. Along with Pupshaw, Frank's semi-subservient housedog-like godling, the two traipse across their surreal landscape, occasionally encountering Manhog, the bloated bladder of sin with a heart of radiance who exists to thwart their prosperity. And then there's the platonic Jerry Chickens, and the lachrymose Lucky, as well as Frank's Real Pa and Faux Pa, each a part of one of the great cartoon achievements of the 20th century.For all its mystery, the world of Frank is a simple, delightful, mesmerizing example of world-building at its most fanciful, surely to delight parents and children alike.

Victor Frankenstein, a Swiss scientist, has a great ambition; to create intelligent life. But when his creature first stirs, he realizes he has constructed a monster. Abandoned by its maker and shunned by everyone else who sees it, the monster turns on its creator and haunts Dr. Frankenstein with murder and horrors to the very ends of the Earth. Artist Frazer Irving's cinematic and moving portrayal of the doctor and his creation is sympathetic and powerful.
