The result is a version of the tale unlike any that has ever been seen before, on the page or in the theater - a frightfully fresh version of the tale that is at once classic and contemporary, and one that could only be experienced in this form.

    Frankenstein's Womb HC (2009 Avatar) By Warren Ellis 1-1ST

    1st printing. Written by Warren Ellis. Art by Marek Oleksicki. The newest addition to Warren Ellis' Apparat line of original graphic novels has arrived! 1816 was called "The Year Without A Summer." In the weird darkness of that July's volcanic winter, Mary Wollestonecraft Godwin began writing Frankenstein on the shore of Lake Geneva in Switzerland. But that is not where Frankenstein began. It began months earlier when, en route through Germany to Switzerland, Mary, her future husband Percy Shelley, and her stepsister Clair Clairmont approached a strange castle. Castle Frankenstein, some one hundred years earlier, had been home to Johann Conrad Dippel, whose experiments included the independent invention of nitroglycerin, a distillation of the elixir of life - and the transfer of a live soul into an awful accretion of human body parts. Mary never spoke of having entered the real Castle Frankenstein, stark on its hilltop south of Darmstadt. But she did. And she was never the same again - because something was haunting that tower, and Mary met it there! Fear, death and alchemy - the modern age is created here, in lost moments in a ruined castle on a day never recorded. Following up the huge successes of Crecy and Aetheric Mechanics, Ellis turns his spark of mad genius to bring us a fantastical tale in this all new original graphic novel illustrated in atmospheric perfection by newcomer Marek Oleksicki. Softcover, 48 pages, full color. Mature Readers NOTE: LImited to 1,000 copies. Cover price $16.99.

    We Belong Dead: Frankenstein on Film SC (1997 Midnight Marquee) 1st Edition 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st Edition - 1st printing.

    Edited by Gary J. & Susan Svehla.

    Starting with Edison's 1910 Frankenstein to today's modern cinema, this book stands as a testament to the durability of Mary Shelley's original novel. Whether we look at Frankenstein's Monster as the bogeyman, as metaphor, as kindred spirit, or as society's mirror, the fact remains that Mary Shelley knew not what she wrought during that haunted summer of 1816, and this volume is the latest effort in a relatively short line that tries to explain, looking at both cinema past and present, the meaning of Boris Karloff's immortal words from 1935's Bride of Frankenstein-"We belong dead!"

    Softcover, 320 pages, B&W.

    Cover price $20.00.
