Frankenstein

Pendulum Press’s 1973 comic adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein distills the classic novel into a single, striking issue. Scripted by Otto Binder and illustrated by Nardo Cruz, this entry in the publisher’s line of literary adaptations brought the tragic tale of the creature and his creator to a new generation of readers. It stands as a notable, concise example of the era’s effort to make canonical literature accessible through the comics medium.
