Is this a lost "Kirby Klassic" from the 1950s?
Read this never-reprinted tale from Prize's Monster of Frankenstein #31 (1954) and judge for yourself...
When Prize Comics' Monster of Frankenstein title was revived during the horror comic boom of the early 1950s, besides a wonderfully-gruesome version of Dick Briefer's Monster, it featured a number of two to four page "fillers".
Most of these tales appear to be, at the very least, laid-out by the legendary Jack (King) Kirby.
This story is a prime example.
The Grand Comics Database
lists the story's illustrator as Marvin Stein, who worked primarily for
the Simon & Kirby studio, so this most likely was an
S&K "inventory" story laid-out by Kirby and meant for insertion
wherever editorial page count came up short.
Sadly, the writer of the story is, as in so many cases, unknown...
