Mary Shelley's classic tale about a scientist's hubris and the pitiable creature who did not ask to be brought to life is adapted into a breathtaking graphic novel illustrated by the renowned artist Georges Bess.

Faithfully adapting the original novel, citing text directly from Shelly's novel, Frankenstein by George Bess, is filled with page after page of stunning pen-and-ink drawings. Readers will find themselves lost in this classic story, content to soak in every detail before entering the next page.

Reproducing Georges's unprocessed illustration boards on uncoated woodfree paper, these artist-edition books will capture the tactile details of his work as if holding the originals.

Mary Shelley

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was born on August 30, 1797, into a life of personal tragedy. In 1816, she married the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and that summer traveled with him and a host of other Romantic intellectuals to Geneva. Her greatest achievement was piecing together one of the most terrifying and renowned stories of all time: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Shelley said she conceived of Frankenstein in “a waking dream.” This vision was simply of a student kneeling before a corpse brought to life. Yet this tale of a mad creator and his abomination has inspired a multitude of storytellers and artists. She died on February 1, 1851.
