 Dracula
When Dr. John Seward admits a strange new patient named Renfield into his asylum, the madman tells stories of a demon who has taken residence next door. But as the doctor attempts to apply logic to the impossible…his daughter falls under the spell of the twisted Count Dracula!
THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH creators James Tynion IV (W0RLDTR33, Something is Killing the Children) and Martin Simmonds re-team to breathe new life into the most iconic vampire story of all-time.
Frankenstein
Perfect for fans of UNIVERSAL MONSTERS: DRACULA and THE SILVER COIN – UNIVERSAL MONSTERS: FRANKENSTEIN breathes new life into the tale of one of pop culture’s most beloved monsters.
A MODERN-DAY HORROR VISIONARY RESURRECTS ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC MONSTERS!
Award-winning creator Michael Walsh (The Silver Coin) presents a jaw-dropping new vision of the seminal horror classic. This deluxe hardcover tells the shocking creation story of the unforgettable monster in the original film—one body part at a time.
Dr. Henry Frankenstein begins his unholy quest to create life by robbing the grave of a decorated police officer to find necessary parts. But little does he know that the corpse has a son who is mourning a father – and that this young boy will forever change Frankenstein’s life.
Dracula is based on one of the movies, the Bela Lugosi one I believe...yes, after looking up the actor who played Renfield there is no doubt, the character in the book is clearly him with the same manic expressions. So it veers away from the plot of the original novel of course, such as making Mina the daughter of Seward, and Renfield to be the lawyer who went to Transylvania.
The artwork was a little messy, intentionally so and at times that was distracting, but a lot of the time, especially with the Renfield scenes, it adds to the atmosphere, making not just him but the whole world insane. The artist also used other media, like using painted lace for the women's dresses giving a unique effect.
Next I read Frankenstein. I clearly never saw the movie version since the little boy wasn't familiar but I liked how that helped us remember that the "monster" was once a person, in this case the boy's father, and here's Frankenstein mucking around and messing with people's lives. It was a little hard to follow because there was a lot of jumping around in time, and from what I recall from the original novel, very little taken from the original except the idea of the story. But was a fun read as we get into fall and October is not too far away.
