really liked it

4.5 stars-- The classic Frankenstein story gets a mid-century remake in this story of a tragic young man who becomes hideously mutated in terrifying post-WW2 experiments. While there are several familiar tropes in display here, the story is still affecting and a compelling read with amazingly detailed illustrations.

There are many monsters in this story, and most don't look like hulking otherworldly creatures. If you were expecting a superhero story or lighter fare, please put that assumption aside before opening this book. There are *very intense* scenes of family violence, war crimes, PTSD, etc.
