Frankenstein #22
Frankenstein #22 Synopsis This issue contains two stories. The first follows a search for a woman named Angela across diverse landscapes, where a monster pursues her and her rescuers. A fire bomb is used against the creature, causing it to lose its grip and fall. The second story concerns a man named Noel Parker who is haunted by the ghost of Anne Nelson after she is found dead in his garden; Anne's spirit reveals that the despotic Edmond murdered her, and Parker is tormented by guilt until Dr. Nelson dismisses the incident as an accident. A final sequence depicts a blonde woman named Marcia calling out to a man named Steve in a jungle setting, where native tribespeople and ritual fire are involved, with Marcia offering herself as a sacrifice to save Steve.
