Blog Updates 7/11

I added an about Frankenstein gadget to the blog yesterday. It includes links to Wikipedia pieces on the novel, its author(s), and its afterlife. There are also links to significant characters, but do also see the section on comics for more examples.

On a related note, if there are any Wikipedia-style pages  devoted to other characters and franchises, please send me the details at frankensteinandthefantastic@gmail.com.
