Title: Splendid Extension of Frankenstein
Product review: Livingston and Tinnell's The Living And The Dead is the best thing they have produced to date. Their graphic novel extension of Frankenstein works quite nicely. (Far better than say Steve Niles' graphic novel "modernization" of Frankenstein, Wake the Dead.) The artwork by Farritor very much complements the story woven by Livingston and Tinnell. The commentary by Skal on the story and the persistence of Frankenstein in popular culture at the end was good, though it would have been nice had it been a bit more in-depth.Note, The Living And The Dead is contains some material that is for a more mature reader and thus unlike their graphic novel The Black Forest should not be handed to too young of a reader.
