Certainly the Granddaddy of them all, predating Dracula and Mr. Hyde (who seems very influential on Werewolves. I even have a novel called The Hyde Effect that actually is a Werewolf story). From these three sprang the DNA of classic monsters!

They also did an anime of Tomb Of Dracula that was much more faithful to the Marvel continuity. Actually found a DVD of that one. I've watched the Frankenstein one as well but can't find a DVD of that. Seems to me that the Wonderful World Of Mister Magoo where he's an actor did a version of an oversized Frankenstein Monster as well (other episodes had him rescue Dick Tracy and play Sherlock Holmes!). Can't find this stuff anywhere!

Actually the Iron Man issues sort of wrapped up the story from the comics, having the monster living with Victoria Frankenstein and her other little creatures,which is where he'd gotten in the last issue of the too-short series. (BTW I have a book reprinting all the issues of Frankenstein Monster, Monster Usleashed and even the Werewolf by Night Annual the monster was in.)

Nice! Sadly I don't have any of the originals, I DO have the first part of that 2-part Iron Man story that wrapped it up though. Still scratching my head as to why that wasn't included in this collection, or why they didn't just split it into two volumes to fit everything. Still a great collection though, and basically has everything BUT that one story.

You need the next three issues to complete the adaptation of the original story. Worthwhile!

Amazon often has listings for out of stock titles. For third party sellers who have them, and in case it comes back in stock. sometimes, like that one, they list an amazon price as well. You still can't buy it though, not until they get more. It works like a Pre-Order listing. Order now, they'll charge you when/if it ships.

Indeed sir...that's how i locked in the Batman Animated Series Blu Ray set...and now it's "unavailable".

It exists, I have it, but it doesn't have it's own "box" with art.

I don't have nearly enough of either one to be able to do a proper review of them. Only have a couple random issues.

Yes, that is a continuation of Berni Wrightson's Frankenstein, which was his illustrated adaptation of the original story. I have it, and plan to get Alive, Alive at some point as well.

I think Jodie's been wonderful so far. Lots of fun, and loving the more cinematic look/feel to the show. I have no problem with politics in a historical story, seems perfectly appropriate to me given the topic of that story.

Jodie comes across as a try hard, which is kind of funny because she openly admitted she was too lazy to put on a more "received"/neutral accent a la Tennant. She's also been lecturing us fans about the un-PC sins of Classic Who which is hilarious as she's obviously seen maybe a handful of stories (or more likely is parroting what the ideologue Chibnall has told her about them). I shouldn't read her interviews but her stupidity and inability to stick to her own half-formed narratives makes them depressingly amusing reading. I guess the BBC PR goons weren't quite as successful at brainwashing her as they would have liked to have been. The music is easily the best thing about the reboot. Re the look of the show the tighter aspect ratio and more cinematic look is on the whole appealing to the eye but as I'm prone to I regularly notice shortcuts and tricks in the way things are framed/shot (not a criticism) There's no fun and so far both episodes have been a slog. I don't get how people were calling ep.1 thrilling, while one review actually said the opening 10 minutes or so of ep.2 were among the most exciting in Doctor Who history. While it had an element of suspense and pace sorely lacking from ep.1 (at least until the spaceship just happened to crash a few hundred metres from them) it was nothing special. Ep.3 looks vile so I'll be skipping that one. Who knows things might buck up with ep.4?

Yeah, I really have no desire to get into this. I'm so tired of the negativity, hate and toxicity. I was entertained, I like it, I'm excited to see where it goes, the end. You don't like it. Fine. Let's move on now.

Well what do you expect after 15 months of Chinball and the BBC telling us fans how toxic we are because we expressed doubts regarding his writing and casting abilities? And then when they finally let Whitaker speak, jeez, what an egotistical airhead. That was about 20% of longterm fans alienated in one swoop. The biggest sin of these first two episodes was the simple fact they were so dull and uninspired.
