Frankenstein's Four
Things that go bump in the night are all the rage these days. As long as they either vampires or zombies, that is. The rotting remains of the undead have seen a resurgence in cinema shamblings over the past few years as well as a whole host of comic books devoted to what left of their rancid flesh. Most notable among these is Walking Dead, which is poised to explode into the stratosphere when the television series premires on AMC in just a few weeks. Vampires,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of course, are all sparkly and shimmery these days. Tortured souls with puppydog eyes and stunning cheekbones who fall in love with teenage girls and still manage to be thought of as romantic. Vampires have long been a mainstay in the world of comic books but Dracula reappearance in the Marvel Universe can no doubt be attributed to the current bloodsucking trend sweeping movie theaters and televisions around the world.
Both Marvel and DC have done a pretty good job of capitalizing on this with the previously mentioned X-Men vampire war that going on right now, Marvel Zombies and the Black Lanterns,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which are essentially a cross between vampires and zombies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with power rings. But where are all the rest of the monsters?
Sure, werewolves are featured prominently in the Twilight films and of course in the Underworld series, but they got to pretty tired of playing second fiddle to the undead. Robert Kirkman of Walking Dead fame was writing an Astounding Wolf-Man comic for a few years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but we pretty sure we were the only ones reading it and we quit after 5 issues or so. The Gill-Man well, if Namor and Aquaman can even carry their own series we honestly can expect this guy to pull it off either. After the war, the monster was reimagined as a humor series as Frank, like many vetrans, settled into small town life, becoming neighbors with Dracula and the Wolfman and having all sorts of wacky adventures. Which sounds an awful lot like the Munsters to us, but that a story for another day. The book was cancelled during all that hubub about horror comics and juvenile delinquency which ultimately saw the creation of the Comics Code. Briefer Frankenstein has been collected recently and while the stories are pretty dry by modern standards, does feature some pretty awesome artwork,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially during the humor era.
Mighty Men and Monster MakersDell Comics published their own odd update of the Frankenstein mythos for three short issues in 1966-67. This version of Frankenstein had caucasian flesh everywhere on his body except his green head,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which he covered with a lifelike rubber mask probably manufactured by the very same company that has made lifelike rubber masks for so many disfigured superheroes over the years. Adopting the name Frank Stone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this version of the monster posed as a billionaire playboy when not fighting crime. Apparently Dell sought to corner the superhero-monster market a few years before Marvel big monster boom in the 1970 but didn have the same successful results.
That monster boom we just mentioned in the last sentence was the one that gave us Ghost Rider, Werewolf by Night, Son of Satan and all those guys. And of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it gave us the House of Ideas version of the Frankenstein Monster. Brilliantly illustrated by Mike Ploog, the series began as a straight adaptation of the novel but eventually saw the monster frozen in ice and revived in the modern era to team with Spider-Man and Ulysess Bloodstone. Which is pretty nutty if you ask us, but you know we like that sort of stuff.
There have been others the Wachowski Brothers Doc Frankenstein series comes to mind as well as the Frankenstein character created by Grant Morrison,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], both of which were really cool ideas; neither of which are likely to see the light of day again any time soon. DC also featured a Young Frankenstein character in Teen Titans, but we pretty sure the only reason he was introduced was because the joke was just way too funny to pass up. And of course, the Punisher recently saw himself dismembered and ressurected in a Frankenstein-esque fashion in the critically acclaimed Franken-Castle run. But that wasn really Frankenstein, y
Modern PromethusesOr would that be Promethei? Is there actually a plural form of At any rate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], maybe the reason we don see much of the real Frankenstein or his monster in the land of comic books is because we see their fingerprints in nearly every book we read?
Mary Shelly Frankenstein is described as a tale of gone wrong which also describes the entirity of the Marvel Universe circa 1965 and still describes a lot of the superhero and sci-fi comics of today. Both the Hulk and the Thing are hideously misshapen and often misunderstood monsters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], searching for peace in a world that shuns them. Tony Stark,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a genius weapons manufacturer, nearly died but managed to cheat death through scientific means, trapping himself in an iron lung of sorts. It a bit of a stretch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it fits with the modern prometheus theme with Stark own inventions coming back to bite him squarely on the ass. And back in the most of the parents of the mutants who showed up at Xavier School had been employed at nuclear power plants. Is Frankenstein featured in old Marvel Comics? Yes he in all of them. Maybe not so much with DC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Cyborg immediately comes to mind.
So even if the monster isn revived in a modern setting, even if he never again teams up with Spidey or fights alongside the Wolfman in World War II and even if we never actually see Victor Frankenstein or his creation, they still manage to cast a long shadow over the world of comic books. We settle for that.
In addition to dedicating an entire month worth of Comicscapes to Halloween, Chad Derdowski takes part in a couple of podcasts you really ought to check out. It like news radio,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], only interesting. The Zod Complex is a weekly show dedicated to comic books with a focus on the world of tights and flights.
