Le Monstre de Frankenstein #1

"Frankenstein! de Mary Shelley" kicks off with Robert Walton IV leading an Arctic expedition to recover the frozen creature, recounting the tale of its creation to a cabin boy. Written by Gary Friedrich and illustrated by Mike Ploog—whose dynamic pencils and inks define the issue's eerie atmosphere—this 1973 Canadian release presents a chilling, faithful adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic, rendered with striking detail and a gothic sense of dread. The cover by Mike Ploog captures the story’s haunting tone, making it a standout in early horror comics.
