Criminal Macabre: The Eyes of Frankenstein

In this 2013 Dark Horse miniseries, writer Steve Niles and artist Christopher Mitten expand their noir-horror universe, sending occult detective Cal McDonald on a case that drags him into a conflict with the Frankenstein monster's undead bride. The four-issue arc pits the cynical, drug-addled monster hunter against a resurrected creature from Mary Shelley's lore, blending supernatural violence with Niles' trademark bleak humor. Mitten's gritty, shadow-drenched artwork amplifies the story's gothic atmosphere, making this a key chapter in the Criminal Macabre saga's exploration of classic monsters through a modern, hardboiled lens.
