Frankenstein was the main character in a short-lived attempt by Dell Comics to publish superhero comic books based on the Universal Pictures monsters. The comic book character is based on the literary and movie monster Frankenstein's monster. The other two characters were Dracula and the Werewolf. Frankenstein lasted three issues, numbered 2-4 (Sept. 1966- March 1967). Issue #1 had been a 1964 adaptation of the 1931 movie. Art was by Tony Tallarico and Bill Fracchio. The series was lampooned by Big Bang Comics with their own superhero character, Super Frankenstein.
