Here’s an adaptation of Frankenstein for Young Adult readers published in 2008 by Bromera
in Spanish and Algar in Catalan. The two covers by Paco Giménez capture tragic
moments: The Monster saves a little girl from drowning, only to be attacked and shot for his well-intentioned efforts, and the sudden, violent revenge killing of Elizabeth, a
wedding bouquet falling from her hands.
Writer Jesús Cortés (Jesús Cortés Zarzoso) has adapted a
number of classic works including Homer’s Odyssey, Melville’s Moby Dick and
Stoker’s Dracula. Paco Giménez
(Francisco Giménez Ortega) is an award-winning artist who has illustrated a
number of children’s books and comics. His Frankenstein illustrations are done in stark, geometric strokes
that are at once economical and lyrical.

luvitt! :-)
I think the first one is actually supposed to depict the just Creature after he's saved the little girl from drowning, and a moment before he's shot by the girl's father.
Thank you Anonymous for the correction. You are absolutely right, of course. Correction made. Thanks again.
