Warren Ellis' Frankenstein's Womb Review1814, and Mary Godwin, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Mary's half sister Claire Clairmont (pregnant with Byron's child) are en route to the Villa Diodati, Lake Geneva when they pass through Darmstadt and see the ruins of Castle Frankenstein. Intrigued, Mary stops the coach and goes into the ruins alone to investigate. There she meets a mysterious creature who takes her on a metaphysical journey...
The first thing that strikes you when you open the comic book is the black and white artwork. It's dark, tempestuous, and utterly romantic. The horse and coach hurtling through the black forest with the driver's cloak billowing is romantic and takes you there instantly. Throughout this short comic there are moments like that and full credit deserves to go to the artist, Marek Oleksicki, who did a fantastic job with the art.
Ellis' script is also excellent. Taking various strands of history and fiction and weaving them together into a pseudo-premonition/explanation of the modern era via the novel "Frankenstein" is at times genius, at others baffling, but always compelling. The art helps but my own interest in this era especially this group of individuals at this time made me enjoy the book more than others perhaps who haven't studied the time. The only thing I regret is that it isn't longer and that Ellis didn't take the story to Lake Geneva where Byron and Polidori are introduced and things get even darker (and having read Ellis' other books probably funnier). As it is though this is one of the better books to have come from the Apparat line and a wonderful short comic book.Warren Ellis' Frankenstein's Womb Overview1816 was called "The Year Without A Summer."In the weird darkness of that July's volcanic winter, Mary Wolfestonecraft Godwin began writing Frankenstein on the shore of Lake Geneva in Switzerland.But that is not where Frankenstein began.It began a few months earlier when, en route through Germany to Switzerland, Mary, her future husband Percy Shelley, and her stepsister Clair Clairmont approached a strange castle.Castle Frankenstein, some one hundred years earlier, had been home to Johann conrad Dippel, whose experiments included the independent invention of mitroglycerin, a distillation of the exlixir of life - and the transfer of a live soul into an awful accretion of human body parts!Mary never spoke of having entered the real Castle Frankenstein, stark on its hilltop south of Darmstadt.But she did.and she was never the same again - becasue something was haunting that tower, and Mary met it there.Fear, deather, and alchemy - the modern age is created here, in lost moments in a ruined castle on a day never recorded.
