An occasional series that is a continuation of my essay anthology, On Being Human: critical looks at books and movies that examine the question of humanity. (Buy the limited edition hardcover, Kindle version, or download it for free at the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography)

When I wrote On Being Human, I wrote an essay on Mike Mignola’s Hellboy. Frankenstein Underground expands on Mignola’s pulpy universe, giving us a fun graphic novel about Frankenstein’s monster.
