Frankenstein #7
This anthology issue contains multiple stories, including one featuring Frankenstein's monster competing in a magicians' competition where he receives 647 votes and wins the presidency, leading to a rival magician's vengeful plot against him. Another story, "Lorelei," depicts a creature from mythology whose enchanting music drives men mad, with a ship's crew unable to resist sailing toward the rocky isle where she dwells. The issue also includes a humorous tale of an unattractive man named Mischa Goss attempting to win the affections of a girl named Shirley Shmool by approaching her in person, only to retreat when he realizes his appearance makes the gesture futile.
