Frankenstein. Frankenstein, a creature of vast strength stitched together from corpses, is actually a gentle soul who consorts with ghouls, ghosts, and goblins in a series of humorous adventures. Occasionally he fights a costumed hero named Bulldog Denny. Eventually his stories turn serious, and Frankenstein becomes a creature of wrath and vengeance. Frankenstein appears in stories with titles like “Three Wishes From Dr. Devil,” “Frankenstein Smashes the Nazis,” and “The Undertakers’ Convention.”
