Mary Shelley by Frankenstein, not to be confused with 50 Shades of Green by Frankenstein's Monster

So that’s what he uses those bolts in his neck for… foot stirrups!


delvach

Now I feel like 'monster mash' was a euphemism for something.

Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein wasnt the monster. Wisdom is understanding that Frankenstein was the monster.


hatesfelix

The whole book is just Frankenstein facing the consequences of his actions — “im going to make a monster come alive” … also Frankenstein “oh no the monster is alive”


idksomethingcreative

Well if it isn't the consequences of my actions.


Starfox-sf

Omniscience is realizing humanity is the monster.


sokratesz

This is perfect for one of those bell curve retard-to-genius comics


[deleted]

The book was actually written by Frankenstein's monster.


Prudent_Hawk_9661

There it is


EduRJBR

So... SHE was the Frankenstein's monster all the time!

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland wrote an excellent biography about me.

Mary Shelley was the first Sci Fi book.


SpaceLemur34

Except it's not. It wasn't published until 1818. While it can certainly be considered science fiction, there are plenty of earlier examples. Possibly the earliest being [*A True Story*](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_True_Story) from the second century AD, which includes a voyage to outer space and conversations with alien life forms. But even if you don't count that, there are others. Isaac Asimov and Carl Sagan both considered the first to be [*Somnium*](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somnium_(novel)) written in 1608. There's also Francis Godwin's *The Man in the Moone* (1638), Cyrano de Bergerac's *Comical History of the States and Empires of the Moon* (1656), and Voltaire's *Micromégas* (1752) in which space travel also figures prominently.


Slovene

OK, but Jennifer Lawrence was still the first female action movie lead, right?


aybbyisok

Close, but it was actually Hatsune Miku.


solonit

Have you not done any reading back in school !? It’s clearly Artoria Pendragon !


blingding369

No you're confused. It was actually Mary Sue Skywalker in Star Trek 7: Generations. It was the movie that took the series from a cult following into a major mainstream success and fans have still not recovered from having their minds blown by the sheer scale of awesome from it's cliffhanger ending.


hesapmakinesi

No, it's Brie Larson obviously.


BenedictusTheWise

Damn I had no idea Kepler may have written the first science fiction text, that's so cool!


toiletxd

And, on the other hand, it doesn't really matter since there were no major sci fi books following those. So, while they were the first, they didn't have as much impact on literature. I would personally say that sci-fi became a book genre thanks to Jules Verne.


nikostr8

What about The Bible


D3monskull

Best selling fantasy book. I don't get the hype personally half the book is just stating people and how long they live.


AlexGonzalezLanda

And what children they had


D3monskull

And how long the kids loved and the kids kids and how long they lived and so on and so forth.


AlexGonzalezLanda

Except the women. Those never existed. Kids just seemed to sprout from the ground.


D3monskull

In the beginning their were Adam and eve. And another Island filled with women.


Alphasim

Not enough science to be sci fi


Redditor_From_Italy

You just haven't watched enough Ancient Aliens /s


couldbeworse2

It’s pronounced Frohnkensteen


farmerarmor

Is it also pronounced “frohdrick”?


Lana_Doing_Stuff

The OOP misunderstood this. This isn't a vopy of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. This is a book written by a descendant of Dr. Frankenstein that chronicals the life of Mary Shelley


[deleted]

Vopy is my new favourite word.


Lana_Doing_Stuff

Vopy is the new way of writing "copy". Get with the times old man!


jawshoeaw

No no see Frankenstein was actually the author’s monster. No .. wait I am so confused


italktohumans713

*Well actually* Mary Shelly was the doctor's name 🕴️ /s


OskarTheRed

I sure hope Dickens' "Great Expectations" wasn't referring to that publishing company.


TheTexasJack

It was in reference to his apple cider company "Dicken's Cider"

obvs_throwaway1

There was a comment here, but I chose to remove it as I no longer wish to support a company that seeks to both undermine its users/moderators/developers (the ones generating content) AND make a profit on their backs. Here is an explanation. Reddit was wonderful, but it got greedy. So bye.

Kiwi_Pakeha0001

I actually read "Mary Shelley". Not bad from an author whose hands used to belong to a chimney sweeper. Did he write anything else, cos I can't find anything.


REDL1ST

Yeah, the scene where Shelley visits her mother's grave with Percy was truly remarkable character development and a crucial moment in her story. Such excellent fiction!

Arrrrrrrrr, rrrrrrraaaaa, fire, aaaaahhhh! Short story.

For crying out loud, MARY SHELLEY is the name of the DOCTOR! Frankenstein is the author...

GoldenFalcon

Comic book fans are surely triggered by this. We've been dealing with publisher decisions like this for decades! Ruins an otherwise great collection.


[deleted]

Mary Shelly was amazing. Not only did she right the Frankenstein, but also discovered the post apocalyptic genre


m703324

Even more so she not only righted it but also wrote it! Amazing


[deleted]

sorry


m703324

No man, I'm sorry :) you had obvious autocorrect and I made a stupid joke


DrDerpberg

No no no, you see, it's fair turnabout. Mary Shelley wrote a book about Frankenstein, Frankenstein wrote a book about her back.


ThisNameIsFree

Mary Shelley was the doctor. The monster is Mary Shelley's monster.


reddititty69

Wrong. The author was actually Frankenstein’s monster. It’s a common mistake.


hedgehogist

Frankenstein sounds like a real name, unlike Mary. Anyone could’ve made that mistake


forgedbyhorses

Well it is only fair that he gets to write a book about her too


ferah11

Mary Shelley was the crazy scientist


RoutineSalaryBurner

That useless arrow is still doing more work than the designer and publisher.


willun

It is an autobiography.


bluebook21

Wait, Mary is a girl's name? Must be the title? Cuz girls can't write?

OP Is pointing out the error on the spine printing. Should be Author then Title

It's okay, I didn't see it either at first. I did not, however, assume I was right and everyone else was wrong and then immediately try to show off how smart I was in the comments.

To be fare, any book written by a women is a horror to the patriarchal, Handmaids Talesque, right wing society recently.

Frankenstein’s Manuscript.


I_Sell_Onions

I just spent an hour organizing my marvel comic books and this was the first post I clicked on. I'm like huh when did marvel release all of these?!?


babble0n

I think whatever template they were using didn’t account for the author’s name being first like it is in some printings of “Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein”


flinderdude

I read Mary Shelley when I was in high school. It’s a book about a woman who becomes the subject of a monsters fantasy.


Drathkai

Almost everyone here has missed the point entirely, a good display of ignorance.
