Frank Einstein
Frank Einstein is a mysterious amnesiac who first appeared in Dark Horse's Creatures of the Id #1 (1990). With no memory of his past, he struggles to uncover who he truly is — a search for identity that defines his earliest adventures.
Few characters announce themselves quite like Frank Einstein, who burst onto the scene in 1990's Creatures of the Id #1 — a Copper Age debut co-created by the legendary Mike Allred that launched one of indie comics' most enduring cult figures. Over more than three decades and 102 catalogued appearances across Madman Comics, The Atomics, and even Savage Dragon, Frank has proven himself a genuine Dark Horse institution with real staying power. Three of those appearances carry key-issue status, a testament to how collectors have embraced this character from the very beginning. Keeping vivid company alongside the likes of Mr. Gum, Jack Pomade, Dorrie Lopez, and Luna Romy, Frank Einstein inhabits a wonderfully offbeat corner of the comics universe that rewards every reader curious enough to dive in.
