Frankenstein Meets Shirley Temple

In this delightfully absurd two-issue series from Hotel Fred Press, cartoonist Roger Langridge pits Mary Shelley's monster against the most unlikely of foils: Shirley Temple. Spanning 2000 to 2007, the comic is a showcase of Langridge's signature blend of whimsical art and witty, genre-bending humor. It matters as a charming, offbeat example of independent comics' ability to mash up pop culture icons in completely unexpected ways.
