Plot Summary
The comic tells the story of Frankenstein‘s monster, who survived the events of Mary Shelley‘s novel and adopted his creator’s name as his own (and earned doctoral degrees as well). Doc Frankenstein has since been involved in world history (flashbacks show him as a gunslinger in the Wild West, a soldier in World War II, a supporter of the teaching of evolution in 1925’s Scopes Trial, and a supporter of Roe v. Wade in 1972). However, the extremely liberal viewpoints he espouses has made him a target of fundamentalists, who have sought to kill him over the years without success.
