# Frankenstein #9 (1947) This issue contains at least two stories: in the first, Frankenstein's monster throws a party for new neighbors, decorating with hanging bats and cobwebs, which terrifies a woman who mistakes the setup for genuine horror. In "The Charmer," a man gives his old friend Marvin a gift—a beautiful woman who emerges from a flute in the mountains—but she proves to be a supernatural creature, and the story culminates with masked guests arriving at the protagonist's home, revealing the "charmer" to be something sinister that attracted other creatures like ghouls, vampires, and mummies.

Frankenstein throws a monster-themed party and, as a prank to amuse his guests, invites his new neighbors—the refreshingly ordinary May and Fritz—who mistake the gathering for a costume affair. When a home talent contest breaks out, the couple's mundane trick of writing with a novelty underwater pen manages to win over Frankenstein's supernatural crowd, leaving the mad doctor so impressed he decides to try outdoing them himself with increasingly wild (and destructive) schemes.

Frankenstein stumbles upon his old friend Marvin living as a hermit in the mountains, armed with a gift sweater and good intentions—but Marvin's passionate flute playing has made him deeply unpopular with the locals, especially a mysterious woman with serpents for hair. When Frankenstein teaches Marvin to play a proper "charming" melody, the music works a little too well, and the two discover an unexpected romance blooming in the most peculiar of circumstances.

A mad scientist (villain)FrankensteinAwful Annie

When a mad scientist's mind-control experiments turn the whole world topsy-turvy, Frankenstein finds himself immune to the chaos—and decides to hunt down a moose to impress his peculiar friends. But pleasing ghouls and vampires proves trickier than expected, especially when they'd rather see him stay his old, messy self. A wild romp through 1947 where the monster of the house discovers that trying too hard to fit in only makes everyone think you're the crazy one.
