Criminal Macabre: The Eyes of Frankenstein #1

The looming, stitched face of Frankenstein's Monster dominates this cover by Justin Erickson, rendered in pallid, unsettling tones that immediately signal the horror waiting inside — while a bold red circle reveals two grim-faced figures, Cal McDonald and his ghoul companion Mo'Lock, staring back with weary determination. Steve Niles and Christopher Mitten kick off this four-issue Dark Horse miniseries in 2013 with a premise that puts classic monster mythology squarely in Criminal Macabre's hard-boiled world. If you've ever wanted to see what happens when supernatural noir collides with one of horror's most enduring creatures, this is a very promising starting point.
