  Frankenstein Lives...And Not Too Badly
Review created: 03/24/08(updated 04/09/08)

This has all the cliches: Monster frozen in the ice, dedicated young scientist meddling in things best left alone, beautiful blond girlfriend/assistant, angry mob of torch-wielding villagers, even an evil hypnotist who gains control of the creature only to die in the end by its misshapen hands. And the angry Eskimos who, just like in "Captain America", guard the Monster's frozen tomb and worship it as their god sure as heck don't act like any Inuit I've ever heard of up here in Canada.
But you know what? It doesn't matter! This is just pure pulp fun. Don Glut loves the Frankenstein legend, and it shows on every page of this seventies paperback thriller.
Part of series of books he did way back then that were first published in Spanish(!), later volumes find the Monster fight all sorts of other monsters including Dracula, the werewolf and even a lost land of dinosaurs, as well as taking on the James Bond-style evil organization O.G.R.E., but this is where it all starts.
The 1981 Donning edition has the added advantage of a cool wraparound Ken Kelly cover (although the older British paperbacks also give you nicely ghoulish eye candy on the covers) as well as some nice interior illustrations.
Word of warning, however, I also picked up a more recent magazine reprint of the same story from the same folks that publish "Journal of Frankenstein", and frankly it looked like it was edited with an ax and apparently without the aid of a 'spill chucker'.
If you're a big Frankie fan, I can recommend this book. It's no classic but it's definitely fun.
