Dave Miller's The Frankenstein Zombie comic book campaign
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-frankenstein-zombie-comic-book-series-horror-literature#/
The Secret History of the Frankenstein Monster is revealed when he becomes humanity's unlikely ally as the dead rise from the grave to feast on the living. I've always wanted a Frankenstein series that is representative of the character written by Mary Shelly. One of the great myth creations of literature. JK Rowling isn't the only English, female fantasy writer that created an enduring horror icon.
