We’re diving into Superman’s horror-tinged team-up tale! We begin with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897), two genre-defining novels that have influenced centuries of storytelling, including comic books. Then we visit Superman #344 from the Bronze Age of DC Comics, where the Man of Steel faces off against reimagined versions of Frankenstein’s Monster and Count Dracula. Along the way, we explore how public domain monsters fit into superhero mythologies, and wrap with speculation about the future of monster crossovers and Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.
