Gris Grimly's Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus

(3) YA Adapted by Gris Grimly. Illustrated by Gris Grimly. This graphic novel adaptation abridges Shelley's tale while staying true to its spirit. The inventive illustrations, in a muted palette punctuated by black, pinks, purples, and bilious green, are a mix of modern, nineteenth-century, and steampunk sensibilities. Grimly makes excellent use of format with dynamic shapes, sizes, and pacing of panels; the epistolary sections have an elegant (if difficult to read) handwritten look.
