Dell's Other Frankenstein!


In this post I showcased the 1964 attempt by Dell Comics to represent the classic Frankenstein story.

Writer Don Segall and artist supreme Tony Tallarico gave Dell a superhero.

There were two more issues of Dell's Frankenstein before this random revision of Mary Shelley's creation was once again allowed to rest in peace.
