Frankenstein #9
Frankenstein #9 (1947) This issue contains at least two stories: in the first, Frankenstein's monster throws a party for new neighbors, decorating with hanging bats and cobwebs, which terrifies a woman who mistakes the setup for genuine horror. In "The Charmer," a man gives his old friend Marvin a gift—a beautiful woman who emerges from a flute in the mountains—but she proves to be a supernatural creature, and the story culminates with masked guests arriving at the protagonist's home, revealing the "charmer" to be something sinister that attracted other creatures like ghouls, vampires, and mummies.
