Uncanny doppelgangers, unfortunately murdered friends, and a whole lot more are in store for him.Todo comenzará con un deseo de conocimiento y un experimento que llevará a Víctor Frankenstein a alejarse de todos por aquello que ha creado, dirigiéndolo a su perdición, camino en el que conocerá al capitán Walton, quién será oyente de una historia tan magnífica como aterradora. Claustrophobia is key in this adaptation. That memed image from the comic -- you’ve seen it, the one where he’s tapping on the window laughing -- it’s actually a perfect distillation of the comic. Frankenstein’s monster is a man too close to you at a bar, the one who starts telling you a story and won’t leave. You can smell his breath right now can’t you? Poking, tugging at you just by looking at you. He makes you feel like dirt, and understanding him even a little just makes it worse. It’s like the old man’s coiled body in Uzumaki, a body pressed on body, pressing on you with your need to see it . No image in this book is as perfect as that one, whose serialization began around the same time Ito finished his Frankenstein in 1998, but in Frankenstein that sensation is brought about in action, making the reader witness to the spinning of his monster people. In the very different context of this comic’s project, it’s like watching the old guy bend his body bit by bit into that wretched shape. In this adaptation we get another side of Ito’s post-Lovecraftian thinking, the willingness of people to contort themselves along a grotesque arithmetic that we can comprehend but defies understanding.

There were a few stories about Ito's dog that I just didn't get. I think things may have been lost in translation with those stories. Ito began to draw manga at the age of 4, taking inspiration from the works he read in magazines. He continued to draw as a hobby until he became a dental technician in 1984, where he struggled to find a balance between the two. [6] In 2019, Ito received his first Eisner Award for his manga adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for "Best Adaptation from Another Medium." [16]
