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 :)
