Veronica von Frankenstein

A creature of Bronze Age Marvel darkness, Veronica von Frankenstein first stalked the pages of Frankenstein #18 in 1975, conjured by the imaginative pairing of Bill Mantlo and Val Mayerik. Her von Frankenstein name alone signals a lineage steeped in the macabre corners of Marvel's monster mythology, and she's kept remarkable company over the decades — sharing pages with the Frankenstein Monster himself, the sorcerous world of Doctor Strange, and even Iron Man. Rare in the catalog but spanning an impressive arc from 1975 all the way to 2017, she's one of those quietly persistent figures who rewards the dedicated Marvel horror enthusiast willing to dig deep.
