With Lynd Ward's Illustrations

In his introduction to A Contract with God, the first commercially successful graphic novel, Will Eisner says of this book, "Frankenstein fell into my hands in 1938 and it had an influence on my thinking thereafter. I consider my efforts in this area [the graphic novel] attempts at expansion or extension of Ward's original premise."
