This Kickstarter graphic novel that I just got from CB Zane and Wendy Steen Shaner is just a beautiful work of art and storytelling. It is a steampunk inspired, love story reimagining of the gothic novel, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Mostly black and white with color used for impact.
Title is Bride One-Shot. Publication date of March 2026 by CB Zane/Outpost 426 and Wendy Steen Shaner/Naughty Faeries. The indicia has an error saying March 2006, verified the error with the publisher. The Kickstarter was March/April 2026.
The books were available as Single issues, Acts 1-2 in 5 covers, Acts 3-4 in 5 covers, and Act 5 in 5 covers. Also the graphic novel which came with all 5 Acts was available in 10 different covers. I got the Moonlight Kodiart Graphic Novel Edition, scan provided.
There is also a 50 minute digital animated/motion format movie available, which won honorable mention at the Los Angeles International Underground Film Festival!

How closely does the story follow Mary Shelley's Frankenstein? Is it more of a loose inspiration, or does it keep many of the original themes and characters?

It takes liberties to make it unique, but stays true to the outline of the novel, with a steampunk flavor, 74 pages. Check out the link to the Kickstarter campaign, there are trailers and examples of art and story from the book. If anyone lives near Beverly Hills, California, there is going to be a one time showing of the movie at Lumiere Cinema on June 24th.
Books are available on https://naughtyfaeries.com/ and probably any shows they are going to be at.
