Description
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.

FRANKENSTEIN - MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN STARRING BORIS KARLOFF (V.A.) | |
De loin, cet album est l'une des adaptations les plus fidèles du célèbre roman de Mary Shelley. D'une facture à la fois élégante, soignée et toute en nuances - l'usage du noir et blanc fait ressortir à merveille toute la finesse du dessin - le Frankenstein, de Kerry Gammill, est à recommander sans la moindre réserve à tout amateur de fantastique ou de science-fiction gothique. Ayant eu le plaisir de relire ce chef-d'oeuvre récemment, je ne pouvais que me réjouir d'avoir sous la main ce petit bijou littéraire et visuel. À ce propos, le style de l'artiste me rappelle celui d'un des grands noms de l'illustration des comic books, John Buscema, de par la précision et la finesse du trait. Et, comble de bonheur, cet album est enrichi d'un commentaire extrêmement éclairant d'un écrivain et auteur radiophonique et télévisuel bien connu en Grande-Bretagne, Sir Christopher Frayling. Aussi, le commentaire de Sir Frayling est suivi d'une entrevue avec la fille de l'acteur qui aura su immortaliser le célèbre monstre, Sara Karloff. De ce fait, cet album est un peu bonheur pour le lecteur désireux de découvrir ou redécouvrir ce classique des lettres anglaises. À l'origine, ce roman était le fruit d'un pari tenu par un couple - le poète anglais Percy Besshe Schelley et son épouse, Mary - et d'un ami du couple, Lord Byron. En 1818, alors qu'ils s'ennuyaient dans leur cottage, au bord du lac Léman, en Suisse, Lord Byron proposa à ses amis, pour tuer le temps, que chacun écrive un récit d'épouvante. Et c'est de cette gageure qu'est née une oeuvre qui aura fait fantasmer des générations de lecteurs, de dramaturges et de cinéastes, avec un bonheur inégal toutefois. Bien plus qu'un simple conte d'épouvante, le roman de Mary Shelley soulève nombre d'enjeux, notamment éthiques et philosophiques. Lorsque des scientifiques se mêlent de jouer à l'apprenti sorcier, cela ne donne rarement rien de bon. Comme le disent si bien nos voisins du Sud, rest is history. |
