Okay, between this and the Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes thing, IDW is winning SDCC 2011.
Hold on to your bolts!
Steve Niles is teaming with legendary illustrator Bernie Wrightson for a sequel to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein–and in turn, Wrightson's own 1983 graphic adaptation–called Frankenstein Alive, Alive!
“This is an idea that's been rattling around somewhere in the back of my mind for a good many years,” said Wrightson. “I mentioned it to Steve and we started talking. In about two minutes I realized that not only were we on the same page, we shared a vision. I'm very excited to see this finally happening. It's going to be lot of fun.”
13 issues. $3.99. Black & White. 32 pages. Starts in 2012.

Awesome.
Wasn’t really interested in this until I open the link and saw the art. Looks great. May check it out.
The original Wrightson Frankenstein was absolutely amazing! This looks just as good! Wrightson has still got it in spades. Let’s appreciate the great masters while we can.
Wow. Can’t wait.
Bernie Wrightson…SOLD!
Oh hells yes!
Holy shit that looks amazing.
Niiiiiiice! Can’t wait to meet Bernie W. at Dragon*Con soon!
Oh shit!!!! this is a series that would get 3.99 outta me!!!!
OMG, that art is stunning. I hope it stays like that. I think coloring it would take some of the magic away.
@JohnVFerrigno The press release from IDW said “full color” but that postcard above says “B&W.” I’m assuming the full color bit was a typo.
@PaulMontgomery Thanks for the info.
Does anyone know if the first Frankenstein story is still in print?
