Product Description: Up for sale is a raw, vintage coverless copy of Classics Illustrated #26: Frankenstein. Widely praised by comic historians as one of the most faithful adaptations of Mary Shelley’s original masterpiece, this comic features incredibly atmospheric artwork by Robert Hayward Webb and pioneer female comic artist Ann Brewster.
