Reading Room CLASSIC COMICS "Frankenstein" Conclusion

Original art for the cover by Norm Saunders
Victor Frankenstein is insane!
With his wife strangled by his own creation and his father dead from shock, the scientist collapses from exhaustion and is placed in an asylum.
This adaptation was a change of pace for writer Ruth Roche, who served as an editor for the Iger Comics Studios and Ajax/Farrell Comics as well as (probably) writing almost all the Fox-Ajax/Farrell Phantom Lady stories during the Golden Age.
She also penned the Classics Comics version of Lorna Doone.

As a bonus, here's a bio about the novel's author...

Reading Room CLASSIC COMICS "Frankenstein" Part 3

Cover by Norm Saunders
Unable to prevent his family's nanny from being wrongfully-convicted and executed for the murder of his brother, Victor Frankenstein goes on a retreat with his family to their cabin in the mountains.
He encounters his runaway creation who reveals that the death of Frankenstein's sibling was an accident caused by the Monster's inability to judge his own strength.
The Monster offers Victor a bargain; if Frankenstein will construct and animate a mate for him, the Monster will leave Europe forever.
Victor agrees...
TOMORROW, the terrifying conclusion!
