Call Me Frankenstein

Call Me Frankenstein emerged as an independent manga project created by the artist known as HundredBurger. The series was conceptualized during a period of rising interest in self-published digital comics, reflecting a stylistic blend of dark fantasy and character-driven drama that distinguishes independent creators within the medium. Its design philosophy leans heavily into gothic aesthetics, prioritizing atmospheric paneling and a moody, monochromatic visual language that emphasizes the internal alienation of its titular protagonist.

The work represents a contemporary reinterpretation of Mary Shelley’s classic narrative, transposed into a surreal, modern setting. HundredBurger’s approach was noted for prioritizing expressive, sketch-like linework over rigid technical precision, a stylistic choice intended to mirror the fragmented nature of the story’s central character. While the series maintains a niche following, it is frequently cited in indie manga circles for its unique commitment to a solitary, experimental vision rather than the conventions of mainstream commercial serialization.
