Obsessed with natural philosophy, the young Victor Frankenstein succeeds in creating life from its basic elements - and abandons the newborn monstrosity in terror when he cannot bear to look at it. The rejected creature vanishes, and Victor attempts to forget what he has done... But the monster survives. It learns. Deprived of everything, fated to forever be alone, it has nothing left but revenge.
Manga Classics® presents a frightening new manga adaptation of Mary Shelly's famous tale of creation and destruction!
While I can see the huge benefit of using Manga Classics Frankensteinas an accessible teaching tool for students, it's hard to judge it by itself when Junji Ito's manga adaptation ofFrankenstein offers a more visceral take on the story and does so with enough deviation that makes it unique.

And if you're a parent looking to imbue a sense of love for the "classics" this title is a good way to do it. Read Full Review
