Frankenstein #11

Marvel's The Frankenstein Monster #11 (July 1974) promises stone-cold Gothic intensity with its cover tagline "Carnage at Castle Frankenstein!" — and John Romita's cover art delivers, depicting the Monster mid-confrontation in a dimly lit stone corridor, clutching what appears to be a skull-faced figure while two terrified bystanders recoil in horror. The Monster's anguished speech bubbles — "My body is ugly — misshapen — grotesque! And so — I want yours!" — capture the tragic self-loathing at the heart of Mary Shelley's creation, rendered here with raw, visceral energy. With Gary Friedrich scripting and Bob Brown penciling the interior story "And in the End--!?", this issue sits squarely in one of Marvel's most atmospheric horror runs of the Bronze Age.
