About the series
In The Modern Frankenstein (2021–present, Heavy Metal), a five-issue series, the classic monster myth is reimagined through a contemporary lens, blending sci-fi horror with social commentary. This limited run, overseen by Heavy Metal's signature bold aesthetic, updates Mary Shelley's themes for the 21st century, exploring identity and creation in a world of advanced technology. It stands as a sharp, visually striking addition to the publisher's legacy of provocative genre fiction.
