Custom Dell Comics Frankenstein!

Hey Hey Hey, We are back with another custom creation! This time around We look to the world of obscure comic books for influence.I discovered that Dell Comics did a line of superhero style monster comics way back in the day and managed to track down a few issues here and there. My hands down favorite of the books was Frankenstein. Her's a little on the character from Wikipedia:

"Created in 1866 by a reclusive scientist referred to only as "the Doctor" who endowed him with a superior intellect and the strength of fifty men, Frankenstein lay dormant for over a hundred years under the ruins of an abandoned castle near the large modern American metropolis of Metropole City. Upon awakening thanks to a convenient lightning bolt, he dons a lifelike rubber mask to hide the fact that his white-haired and black-browed head has pale green skin (the rest of his tall, muscular body has a normal Caucasian flesh tone) and takes the name "Frank Stone", a pseudonym inspired by a fallen chunk of masonry with the word "FRANK" engraved in it.
Befriending elderly millionaire philanthropist Henry Knickerbocker after rescuing him from a traffic accident (and who, by an amazing coincidence, is the son of a man who had been his long-dead creator's friend and business partner), when the old man dies from a heart attack he leaves his "nephew" Frank his vast fortune, allowing him the financial freedom to devotes his life to being a scarlet-suited superhero."

My Dell Frankenstein is hand-painted on a Creatology vinyl blank. I really like the way he turned out, Hope you do too :)
