Frankenstein Alive, Alive! #3

Framed in a painterly oval vignette against deep black, the Monster stands in quiet, weathered dignity — long dark hair falling around a gaunt, stitched face, his coat worn and world-weary. It's a strikingly somber portrait, far removed from the thunderstruck chaos usually associated with this creature, and it sets a melancholy, literary tone that feels entirely fitting for Steve Niles and Bernie Wrightson's collaboration. Wrightson's cover work here is deliberate and atmospheric, inviting readers into what promises to be a thoughtful, gothic continuation of this series.
