Skeleton Key 5
http://richardsalaskeletonkey.blogspot.com/2013/02/5-frankenstein.html

"Frankenstein" is the nickname given to the nameless creature created by Victor Frankenstein, under the tutelage of his mentor Konrad Dippel. Attempting to understand the secrets of life and death, the two scientists assemble the creature from dead bodies and bring him to life through a mixture of electricity, alchemy and the black arts. When Victor realizes what he has done, he is horrified by the soul-less, undead thing he has created and attempts to destroy it - but fails. Abandoned by his creator, the seemingly deathless creature roams the world, with a bitter and murderous hatred of humanity and the living. He spends years plotting revenge, and using guile and brute force, becomes a wealthy recluse. He acts as a puppet master, controlling events behind the scenes. Following the example of his creator, he plots to create his own army of undead creatures who will ultimately destroy humanity - so that he and his "New People" will have the world to themselves.

A propos de Richard Sala

Richard Sala, illustrateur et auteur américain prolifique au style très personnel, mêle dans ses œuvres mystère, horreur et fantaisie. Aux États-Unis, il a signé depuis une quinzaine d’années, pour des maisons d’édition telles que Dark Horse ou Fantagraphics, les planches de nombreux contes, toujours dans le registre du roman noir, tendance gothique. Il a également réalisé, entre autres, une série animée retransmise sur MTV, Invisible Hands.
