“And In The End..!?”
The monster of Victor Von Frankenstein has found himself under the knife once again! This time, the very last in the family bloodline stares down into his half-conscious eyes. Vincent and his giant Russian named Ivan have captured the creature to continue the Frankenstein experiments.
Unknown to Ivan, however, his master has requested his sacrifice upon the altar of immortality. A healthy brain will be traded for an inferior Cossack specimen. Wait, what?!
Yes, Ivan has finally seen the true nature of his employer. The doctor is stark raving mad! The giant must resist any more orders from those trying to kill him. He must save his true friend, the Frankenstein Monster. But is it too late?
“The Mad Scientist!”
Reprint from World of Fantasy #11 (1958)
The old man entered Dr. Ferris’ lab unseen. But how did he get in? There was a torrential downpour outside, yet his clothes and the clothes of the unconscious boy he carried were dry as a bone. Who were they, and how did the elderly intruder know of the doctor’s research? Over the next few hours, the private research of Dr. Mark Ferris would become key to future generations’ survival.
Reviewer Notes
There is only one remaining Frankenstein left, but what will the monster do after he gets his revenge? I don’t know. First he has to deal with that pesky Russian giant named Ivan!
Mike Ploog knocks it out of the park with his classic monster artwork. Ivan looks just as awesome as the Frankenstein Monster himself. I have one question. Why no Ivan breakout series? He’s just as powerful as the Monster. Roy Thomas should have made it happen!
The main story is short, but a classic story from the golden age of comics is added as a backup. The writer’s name has been lost to time, but I’m guessing it was Stan Lee. In any case, both stories make for good entertainment. I give this issue four out of five stars.
