Who is Il mostro di Frankenstein?

Il mostro di Frankenstein is the Italian comics adaptation of Mary Shelley's iconic creature, published by Sergio Bonelli Editore. A tormented, reanimated being stitched together from corpses by an obsessed scientist, he later crossed over into the Dylan Dog universe.

Born from the imagination of Paolo Morisi and debuting in Frankenstein #2 in 1976, Il mostro di Frankenstein is a Bronze Age creation from the legendary Italian publisher Sergio Bonelli Editore — a house renowned for its richly atmospheric genre storytelling. With a publishing history stretching across roughly fifty years, this figure has proven remarkably enduring, most at home in the pages of Dylan Dog Oldboy and its sister series, where he shares the stage with some of Bonelli's most beloved characters: Dylan Dog, Groucho, L'Uomo Lupo, and Ispettore Bloch. For fans of Italian comics and classic monster mythology, Il mostro di Frankenstein is a fascinating thread connecting the Gothic tradition to decades of Bonelli's signature dark, imaginative universe.
