Frankenstein comic?

Last Updated on July 27, 2021

Dean Koontz, master of the grocery store magazine aisle horror novel might be getting the ole’ comic book treatment. Koontz’s FRANKENSTEIN trilogy will be transformed to fit the nice, compact pages of a bound comic-book. Here is what Koontz had to say about the news:
“I’m delighted that Frankenstein will come to life in comic book form. And that the project is being guided by such capable hands as those of the Dabel Brothers. I usually don’t say things like ‘they rock,’ but it’s inescapable: ‘they rock.'”

Here’s the publisher’s breakdown of Koontz’s story: Every city has secrets. But none as terrible as this. His name is Deucalion (previously known as Frankenstein’s monster), a tattooed man of mysterious origin, a sleight-of-reality artist who’s traveled the centuries with a secret worse than death. He arrives in New Orleans as a serial killer stalks the streets, a killer who carefully selects his victims for the humanity that is missing in himself. Detective Carson O’Connor is cool, cynical, and every bit as tough as she looks. Her partner Michael Maddison would back her up all the way to Hell itself—and that just may be where this case ends up. For the no-nonsense O’Connor is suddenly talking about an ages-old conspiracy, a near immortal race of beings, and killers that are more—and less—than human. Soon it will be clear that as crazy as she sounds, the truth is even more ominous. For their quarry isn’t merely a homicidal maniac—but his deranged maker, Dr. Frankenstein—now known as Victor Helios.
