Frankenstein: Junji Ito Story Collection

Product Information

Although it is extremely simplified it manages to maintain the philosophy and emotion of the original while being illustrated with Ito's unmatched horror. The other half portrayed Frankenstein’s monster as more vicious and heartless compared to the original version. There are plenty of depictions of Frankenstein’s monster that capture the poetry of this moment - Bernie Wrightson’s illustrated version immediately comes to mind - but this is the rare vision which makes the act of creation as violent and grotesque as an act of killing. With Frankenstein, Ito takes the introspective element of human horror and applies it to creativity. If there’s a theme which ties together this tome likely thrown together on the quick by an enterprising editor, it’s the fear that being too close to something will ruin everything.

That being said, all of the key players are in tact, the setting is accurate both in time and place, and Frankenstein's monster is as complex and tortured as his novel counterpart. Despite it being lengthier than his short stories Frankenstein did feel as though it ended abruptly. Whether that death was fake or not is another matter entirely that takes the story to darker places, again engulfed in personal insecurities.It still stands to represent our own biological imperfections and how our attempts at achieving the opposite are doomed to fail. It mostly keeps to bandages and big dirty pieces of clothing that do little to conceal his ugliness.
