MAJOR PICTO SPOTLIGHT: CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN
MAJOR PICTO SPOTLIGHT THIS WEEK WE HAVE A GREAT ISSUE OF CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN
A gorgeous mid-high-grade copy of one of the toughest, most beloved monster-magazine runs of the ’60s — and this issue is loaded. Cesar Romero’s Joker grins across the cover in full color, making this one of the standout pop-culture crossover issues of the entire series. Inside you get everything Castle of Frankenstein was famous for: TV-villain features, Karloff coverage, phantoms, stranglers, and early fan-press enthusiasm at its best.
Even better — the back cover is an absolute knockout: a moody, graphic, black-and-white Batman & Robin piece that looks like something between Infantino and Eisner. One of the coolest back-cover pinups the magazine ever ran.
