About the series
A festive annual from IPC’s Whoopee! stable, the Frankie Stein Holiday Special ran for six issues between 1977 and 1982, offering seasonal one-shot stories starring the Frankenstein-inspired monster boy. The series was a holiday-themed spin-off of the regular Frankie Stein strip, with creators like Robert Nixon and Jimmy Leslie among its regular contributors. It gave readers a cheerful, comedic take on the character’s misadventures during Christmas and other celebrations, standing as a quirky, time-capsule example of British humour comics’ tradition of holiday specials.
