Frank Stone

Silver Age Dell Comics had a knack for the delightfully offbeat, and Frank Stone — debuting in Frankenstein #2 in 1966 under the creative hands of D. J. Arneson, Tony Tallarico, and Bill Fraccio — fits that mold perfectly. Sharing pages with none other than Frankenstein himself, Frank Stone stepped into one of the era's more gloriously campy corners of comics, the kind of swinging-sixties storytelling later celebrated in Hero-a-Go-Go! A modest four appearances in the catalog only adds to his cult curiosity appeal, yet the fact that his footprint stretches across a remarkable 51-year span in the records makes him a quiet little mystery worth investigating for any serious Dell devotee.
