About this Collection

This collection kicks off the 2024 Creature Commandos Present series, focusing on Frankenstein as an operative of S.H.A.D.E. It gathers the opening chapters of his solo adventures within DC's monster-themed corner of the New 52 era, blending horror and espionage as the iconic creature takes on supernatural threats under government direction.

"Uglyhead" kicks off a surreal, unsettling tale in Creature Commandos Present: Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #1, where a strange butterfly shop opens in the heart of a quiet town, triggering a chain of bizarre transformations that leave popular teens haunted by their own inner selves. Written by Grant Morrison and brought to life with striking precision by Doug Mahnke—both in story and on the cover—the issue weaves together eerie mystery, psychological unease, and a creeping sense of something ancient stirring beneath the city’s surface.
