Nightmare #5
In "The Man Who Became... Frankenstein's Monster," a 1971 Skywald classic, a world ravaged by pollution gives rise to monstrous sea creatures and a terrifying new generation of mutant children. Written by Chuck McNaughton and illustrated by Jack Katz with inks by Jack Abel and lettering by Jean Simek, the story unfolds in a chillingly plausible nightmare where radiation meant to stop the beasts has only worsened the crisis. The cover, a striking piece by Boris Vallejo, captures the dread of a world on the brink.
