About the series
Junji Ito's chillingly beautiful adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic, published by Viz in 2018, reimagines the monster's tragedy through the master of horror's signature grotesque and detailed artwork. While the series spans only a single issue, it brings together the talents of writer Jocelyne Allen and artist James Dashiell alongside Ito's own contributions, offering a faithful yet uniquely unsettling vision of the creature's sorrow and rage. This standalone volume matters as a striking entry in Ito's bibliography, distilling the novel's themes into a single, potent comic experience that showcases his ability to transform literary horror into visceral visual storytelling.
