Description In the World of WEIRDING WILLOWS Frankenstein's Monster is called DΓ„MON. This is a name that he has given himself and is the German word for Demon. Damon sincerely believes he is evil and that his creation was of evil intent, even though he does not feel evil.

Yes, he acknowledges he has killed and he knows those volatile emotions are still raging within him, but he is trying to keep himself under control. Much of the source of his rage was from his feelings of being alone.

After the death of Doctor Frankenstein, Damon wandered off into the arctic wastes expecting his life to end. Instead he found a cave that led him down into what he believed was the center of the Earth. This "cave" was actually one of three areas on the Earth where the walls between the dimensions meet and you can cross between the worlds.

Damon crossed over, thinking he was in the center of our world. But it wasn't. It was somewhere else. A world known by other names such as Pellucidar or Hollow Earth. Here amongst the creatures and dinosaurs Damon found a new home and contentment.

Now he has realized there are others who are every bit as different as he is and, at least for now, he has some friends.

In this story we find ALICE in Hollow Earth looking for Damon. Damon splits his time between Hollow Earth and our world for he had made a bond with the creatures there. There are those there he deems friends and cares for very much.

But never in his 100 years in this world did Damon think there was someone else from our world living there as well...

As you said, sometimes leaving certain things open to interpretation is the best course. It all sounds most intriguing and I look forward to seeing more of this great comic

Thanks LJ,

I've always had certain ideas about what Frankenstein's Monster was going through and how that period of his life as depicted in the book as akin to a child's rage of being abandoned and then lashing out. But like any child they grow up. Having kids of my own I have realized that we do have genetic traits for emotional and character traits. These aren't set 100% and are affected by our upbringing.

What I plan to explore with Damon is who he really is at his core and what will happen when he gets his memories back of who he was before he died. -OOPS! Just dropped a major reveal of what's to come!!

Take care.

I love your idea of Frankenstein's monster being like an abandoned child - the failure of his creator and parent figure is without doubt one of the defining themes in the book for me. Do any of Damon's characteristics originate from the body parts of which he is constructed? In the 1994 film, if I remember correctly, his brain came from Professor Waldman whereas in the old 1931 black and white movie, it was a criminal brain.

I really can't wait to find out more about Damon's back story and to see how he reacts when his memories are restored! I was immediately hooked by the pages I saw and shall follow this comic with great interest

Have a great weekend

The book never tells you and leaves it wide open. I have a very bizarro idea that I think will be fun. Remembering of course that in Weirding Willows I can play in several different universes.

For the most part I am restricting the characteristics to the brain, but having something affecting a body part externally could be very cool.

Have a great weekend yourself!!

Thanks,

- Dave
