History:

Comments: Beginning as a monster, Frankenstein went on to become a hero (fighting the Nazis, naturally), before his strip morphed into a humour feature. He returned to his monstrous roots in the 1950s, the height of the horror comic era. In Prize Comics #24, several Prize heroes were brought together from their own series by Bulldog Denny to battle the monster.
