"Frankenstein, Book II: Chapter One" delivers a chilling tale of ambition and consequence in Psycho #3 (1971), a standout issue from Skywald’s short-lived but potent horror line. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life with stark, atmospheric art by Bill Everett—whose pencils and inks define the story’s grim tone—this issue follows a thief whose ill-fated heist sets off a chain of supernatural events. Cover by Boris Vallejo captures the eerie dread with a haunting, gothic image that perfectly mirrors the story’s descent into eternal torment.
