Frankenstein - Mary Shelley - Cover by Dan Clowes
this is a reissue of the classic text that is part of Penguin's Deluxe Classic Editions edited by Paul Buckley - all of the editions of various pieces of classic western literature feature cover artwork by a prominent cartoonist or graphic novelist. This cover for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was done by one of my personal heroes, Mr. Dan Clowes, which should be enough to recommend it to anyone. This is classic piece of horror literature...this is a classic piece of literature PERIOD and if one were to judge a book by its cover, which you shouldn' t you know but which i do anyway, one would certainly choose this beautiful edition with dust jacket designs by the amazing Dan Clowes.
