Forbidden Frankenstein!


"Anton Drek's " Forbidden Frankenstein ain't for everybody. If you're someone who thinks comics should stick to topics and themes suited only for kids then this is not a comic you want to fool with.


But if you're a bit more broad-minded in your comics tastes, then I heartily recommend this pornographic revision of the classic horror character created by the libertine Mary Shelley two hundred years ago. To read these classics check out this link and this one. These are absolutely NSFW so tread carefully.


"Anton Drek" is in reality Don Simpson, and he is one of my favorite artists, a man who is able to imbue his comic pages with not just well-rendered figures, but also a vigorous action. Simpson admires John Romita more than any other comic artist and it can be seen in even these rather different pages from Fantagraphics.


Simpson even revived Forbidden Frankenstein for a mainstream comics run in with his other remarkable creation the amazing Megaton Man. I'm not quite sure what Don Simpson is doing these days, every so often his website will light up with activity, but I know that if he ever decides to do more with the insanely over-sexed patchwork man I'm up for a glimpse.
