Mary Shelley's iconic masterpiece is brought to life with the definitive on-screen Frankenstein, Boris Karloff, in this stunning new graphic novel! Decades before the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and H.G. Wells, 18-year-old Mary Shelley wrote what many regard as the first work of science fiction when she penned FRANKENSTEIN: or, the MODERN PROMETHEUS, which was published in 1818. Over one hundred years later, in 1931, a hard-working but relatively unknown actor named Boris Karloff was cast to play Frankenstein's monster in James Whale's now classic movie adaptation. The film made Karloff a star and solidified Frankenstein's monster as an icon of the silver screen. In 2024, Legendary Comics is proud to bring Shelley and Karloff together for the first time in a faithful adaptation of the novel starring the iconic actor in the lead role of the fully reimagined monster. In partnership with Sara Karloff of Karloff Enterprises, and featuring the artistic talents of Kerry Gammill and El Garing, the team behind the award-winning BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA STARRING BELA LUGOSI, this new graphic novel is certain to delight and terrify old and new fans alike.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Kerry Gammill, who grew up in Ft. Worth, TX, began drawing at an early age. His early art was inspired mostly by the monster movies he watched on TV at every opportunity. He began his professional art career in 1978, joining the roster of artists at Marvel Comics - working on Powerman and Iron Fist , Marvel Team-Up, Indiana Jones, Fantastic Four, Uncanny X-Men, Wonder Man , Doctor Strange, and more - and, in 1988, began drawing Superman at DC Comics. Gammill left comics in the mid-'90s to work as a conceptual artist for film, providing designs and storyboards for many sci-fi movies and TV shows including Virus, Phantoms, Species II, Stargate SGI, Alien vs. Predator, G.I. Joe: Valor vs. Venom, among many others. After several years, Gammill returned to comics and his love of horror as the publisher of critically-acclaimed horror comic books including four issues of Bela Lugosi's Tales from the Grave (inspired by a childhood of watching classic horror movies and reading Creepy magazine) and the graphic novel series Flesh and Blood. Artist El Garing loves illustrations. He migrated to the United States many years ago to follow a dream, and met his hero personally, The Great Frank Frazetta, who is always an inspiration. El was mentored by one of the best, Hal Santiago, and was taught by Philippines National Artist Francisco V. Coching. With Legendary Comics and Lugosi Enterprises, he worked on the graphic novel Bram Stoker’s Dracula Starring Bela Lugosi, which won a Rondo Award in 2022.
