This book is an exploration into the improvement with images. I was recomended this book whilst reading Batman Vs Alien by the Great Frank Miller. This book just gets better with every reading, each picture becomes more and more vivid and you start to notice things that you would never do if you just had shelly's book. This is graphics and literature coming together in a melting pot that tells us more about our postmodernistic society than any form of derealistic literature

Stunning illustration
9 Jun 1999
Format:Paperback
Berni Wrightson, in what is probably the crowning achievement of his career, masterfully illustrates this romantic classic in superb full-page pen and ink. Wrightson's conception of the monster is both horrifying and frighteningly sympathetic, and he demonstrates both his talent for capturing dynamism and motion as well as his grasp of the emotional conflicts of the story. A note to literary students, however: this is an abridged version of Mary Shelley's work, albeit an effective one. A must-read for any well-rounded literary, and a must-see for any student or master of art. Also see _Berni Wrightson: A Look Back_ for a retrospective of Wrightson's work and the lost pages from _Frankenstein_.

Wrightson's Frankenstein is the ultimate version of the book
10 Oct 1998
Format:Paperback
No one will doubt that Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is a classic of horror fiction. It shows the horrific result when a man tries to play God. But this version of Frankenstein features the chilling (but amazing) illustrations by Bernie Wrightson. He truly brings to life the self-loathing creation of Dr. Frankenstein, with his gory appearance and enraged expressions. He expertly renders the landscapes of France and Germany, where the book takes place. These illustrations compliment perfectly Shelly's tale of the struggle between the man and his monster. A must for any Illustration student or horror fan. Definitely buy a copy. Buy two, in case you lose one.
Pride of place on my bookshelf
8 Oct 2002
Format:Paperback
I have the hardcover edition of this book. The oversize illustrations by Wrightson are amazing. When friends visit and thumb through it, they are always taken aback by the strength and subtlety of Wrightson's pen. One drawing is a two page spread of Dr. Frankenstein's lab, a 10" x 20" pen and ink drawing crammed with magnificent detail.
The text is in large type, but laid out very well, so a great way to gets older kids into this seminal novel.
