Comics
The Monster has also been the subject of many comic
book adaptations, ranging from the ridiculous (a 1960s
series portraying The Monster as a superhero; see
below), to more straightforward interpretations of
Shelley's work, such Marvel Comics' The Monster of
Frankenstein, the first five issues of which (Jan.-Sept.
1973) contained a faithful (in spirit at least)
retelling of Shelley's tale before transferring The
Monster into the present day and pitting him against
James Bond-inspired evil organizations.
The artist, Mike Ploog, recalled, "I really enjoyed doing Frankenstein
because I related to that naive monster wandering around
a world he had no knowledge of — an outsider seeing
everything through the eyes of a child."
