Dean Koontz's Frankenstein: Prodigal Son

Based on Dean Koontz's bestselling novel, this 2010 Dynamite Entertainment series reimagines the classic monster tale in a modern-day New Orleans setting. Written by Koontz and Chuck Dixon, with art by Tim Seeley, the story follows a detective investigating a series of bizarre murders linked to a brilliant but twisted geneticist. A single-issue launch that adapts the first novel of Koontz's acclaimed series, it updates the Frankenstein mythos with a fast-paced, contemporary thriller sensibility.
