☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains multiple stories. One story follows a scientist who attempts to create a life-saving drug from mold after learning that penicillin is made from similar mold, and decides to test his experimental formula on a guinea pig. Another story involves a man visiting "Pancake Charlie's" establishment, where he encounters various colorful characters including someone in the advertising business and a creature with large eyes, with dialogue referencing rare batteries. The cover features a funeral scene for the magician H. Pocus, with friends fulfilling his last wish before his final resting place.
A visitor tracking down the author Peg O'Mihart discovers something far stranger than her fantastic stories — a secret hillside operation run by an old spurned boyfriend who's been transforming himself into a frog-man and building a rain machine to flood the world. When the mysterious scheme threatens to turn Peg herself into one of his amphibious creations, disaster strikes in a way no one quite anticipated. It's "Frog Legs," a 1948 humor tale where reality imitates fiction in the most unexpected ways.
When a scientist's dangerous experiment creates a contagious mold creature that threatens the city, Frankenstein teams up with Dr. Woops and his miraculous soap spray to track down the moldy menace before it infects everyone. This 1948 humorous adventure bounces from a grumpy baker to rooftop chases and mistaken identity, proving that sometimes the cure for chaos is as simple as the right cleaning product.
Frankenstein ventures into the advertising business and finds himself at the decrepit Pancake Charlie's establishment to purchase rare batteries, only to get caught up in a twisted family drama involving accusations of a supernatural glowing hand that's been causing mysterious deaths around the house. As he tries to escape the chaos, he discovers nothing is quite what it seems—and neither are the batteries he came for.
When Frankenstein takes a night watchman job at a cemetery to earn money for his enormous appetite, he accidentally grabs the wrong potion to keep himself awake—and ends up sleeping through a grave-robbing operation that lands him in the hands of a crooked "doctor" running an illegal anatomy class. Annie must race to save him from becoming a cadaver lesson before it's too late.
