Le Monstre de Frankenstein

A comedic take on the classic Frankenstein monster, this stitched-together creature appeared in French humor magazine Fluide Glacial as part of Gotlib's signature blend of horror parody and absurdist comedy, rubbing shoulders with Dracula and other monster archetypes in a gloriously irreverent Franco-Belgian setting.

Lurching out of the pages of Fluide Glacial in 1975, Le Monstre de Frankenstein is a Bronze Age creation from the singular mind of Gotlib, the French cartoonist whose irreverent genius helped define Edition des Savanes' wonderfully offbeat sensibility. Rubbing stitched shoulders with the likes of Dracula, Loup-garou, and the gloriously absurd Superdupont, this monster inhabits a corner of Franco-Belgian comics where horror and humor collide in the most delightful ways. Spread across Fluide Glacial, Spécial USA, and La fin du monde est pour ce soir, his appearances are few but choice — a rare treat for collectors with a taste for the macabre filtered through a very French comic sensibility.
