Frankenstein; The Modern Day Prometheus

Resource added
The image displays a sketched scene with two individuals. The right part of the image displays a very large, tall, and grotesk humanoid beast intended to be Frankenstein's monster. The monster is wearing tattered raggedy clothes with a cape and a black mask over its eyes. The person on the left, below this creature, is a sharp dressed man in a suit, top hat, and trench coat cowering in fear under the huge beast. Frankenstein's monster is also readily equipped with a knife in his right hand and another knife like object sheathed on his belt. Frankenstein's monster is snarling while looking onward as if it is uninterested in harming the man below him, but instead other individuals past the boarder of the image. Finally, there is what seems to be a wanted poster with a skull and crossbones on it laying at the feet of the monster as it moves to the left side of the image past the screaming man..
