This copy of Frankenstein Alive Alive #1 grades a nearly perfect CGC NM/M 9.8, meaning it shows only negligible handling or printing quirks and looks about as fresh as a 2012 book gets. Steve Niles scripts this continuation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, picking up after the novel's ending, while Bernie Wrightson returns to illustrate the story nearly thirty years after his celebrated 1983 illustrated edition of the same novel. Wrightson also provides the cover art, colored by Jose Villarrubia, with his interior pages scanned in color to capture the full texture of his original brushwork. Housed in a CGC holder with white pages noted on the label, this is the standard first-print edition of a series that would ultimately go unfinished after Wrightson's death.
Key Details:
- Reunites legendary horror artist Bernie Wrightson with the world of his own celebrated 1983 illustrated Frankenstein novel, picking up where Mary Shelley's original story ends.
- Originally planned as a much longer series, but Wrightson only completed art on a handful of issues before his health declined ahead of his 2017 passing, making early issues like this one part of his final major comic book work.
- Interior pages were scanned in color rather than printed flat black and white, preserving the full texture of Wrightson's original ink brushwork.
- Each issue also folds in a serialized excerpt of Shelley's original prose plus creator interviews and essays, adding genuine bonus reading value beyond the story itself.
- Slabbed and sealed at a near-perfect CGC NM/M 9.8, protecting a book known for its glossy, detail-heavy cover stock long term.
Storyline:
Decades after Mary Shelley's novel ends, Bernie Wrightson returns to his own celebrated vision of the Frankenstein story for a sequel that picks up where the classic tale left off. This first chapter, The Frankenstein Monster, reintroduces Shelley's creature into a world that has moved on without it, launching a haunting continuation of one of horror's most enduring tragedies.
