Frankenstein - Sam Ita

With its riveting blend of horror and science fiction, Frankenstein has gripped the publics imagination since its publication in 1818. Now Sam Ita, the genius of paper engineering and art, transforms Mary Shelleys tragic masterpiece into an unforgettable, stunning and accessible pop-up book. Ita successfully captures the rich, dark drama of his source through amazing images; the entire story unfolds almost cinematically, in a potent mix of graphic novel panels and spectacular three-dimensional designs. The gothic building where Dr. Frankenstein carries out his sinister experiment rises high on the page; a scaffold, complete with a rope noose, emerges threateningly and the misunderstood, rageful monster looms large and menacing, ready to destroy all in his path. This is pure visual magic and a wonderful way to experience a classic.
