Description
My buddy read Dracula and loved it. I read The Phantom of the Opera and loved it. We're reading Frankenstein in English class. We both hate it. While Dracula and The Phantom of the Opera have cool action going on, Victor Frankenstein whines constantly throughout the entire book. So I made this comic.Note: It's hard to read, so the message on the barrel Erik is pushing says, "Gun powder."

What level of awesome madness is this, and how did I miss it first time round.

Aw, Frankenstien ain't that bad... My mistake was reading the introduction first. Totally blew the ending. Egh.
But, no, Dracula and Phantom of the Opera definitely rock.

I always thought Frankenstein did better in films than in books.
But yeah, Dracula and Phantom are totally metal.

I actually loved Frankenstein. I loved laughing at Victor's losing it. He was just crazy. Almost before anything was actually happening he was slipping. He goes into fits and fevers for months at a time, or develops unreasonable manias with animating corpses, which is just a bit unhinged to begin with. Also you have to remember that the book was about his loving creation as well. The creature hardly ever whined, opting for the more direct approach (though more people die in the creatures methods of self-expression).
I also loved the Phantom of the Opera. I liked Eric so much better than Raoul, though. I wish Christine had ended up with him (that would be a sort of weird couple). He, ironically, was also crazy.
I haven't read Dracula yet, but I do have a copy I got on Halloween. It has all these footnotes, so its as big as a textbook. I find this rather intimidating. But if it has lunatics then I'm going to have to read it.
I also loved the Victorian prose, even though it does kind of draw you in and strangle your metal state like a phychopath with a stray cat. Am I losing it too? I think I've been reading to much of these crazy books lately...

I love to read, but I just couldn't hack my way through that Victorian prose. It's like kudzu; it's thick, tangled, solid, everywhere, dotted with purple and slowly but surely strangling the thing it grows on. (In this case, the plot. There was a plot, wasn't there?)

Yeah, some soap opera thing if you count that as a plot.

A shame, since it was kind of an interesting concept...

Yeah, good idea, poor execution.

Yeah, for some reason the quote "the grasshopper hops jolly high" is a bit more sadistic than people would think that never read the book.

Poor Vic.
I like the shading, everytime I try and shade like that I feel as if I'm doing something wrong.
