Becoming Frankenstein

In this six-issue series from 10 Ton Press, Mel Smith and Paul H. Birch reanimate the classic tale as a modern horror-noir, with Frank Cirocco’s moody art capturing the creature’s tragic isolation. Launched in 2022, Becoming Frankenstein explores the fractured dynamic between Victor and his creation, stripping away pulp familiarity to reveal the raw, human cost of ambition. It’s a compact, character-driven take that reframes the monster’s quest for identity within a starkly contemporary lens.
