Over on ROBBY REED'S 'DIAL B FOR BLOG' at the moment is the first few instalments of an eighteen part history of FRANKENSTEIN. I'd urge everyone to give it a look (http://www.dialbforblog.com/) as Robby really researches whatever subject he decides to expound upon.
Being a bit of a Frankie fiend myself, I thought I'd post the covers of MARVEL COMICS 'THE MONSTER OF FRANKENSTEIN' from the early '70s. (It changed its title to 'THE FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER' with issue #6.) Interestingly, Marvel's colour comic only lasted for the same number proposed for Robby's series, but I assume that's just a coincidence.
GARY FRIEDRICH wrote the first eleven issues (1-4 being an adaptation of MARY SHELLEY's novel, first published in 1818), with DOUG MOENCH taking over from #s 12-17, and BILL MANTLO writing the final issue. MIKE PLOOG was responsible for the art chores on the first six issues, being followed by JOHN BUSCEMA, BOB BROWN, and VAL MAYERIK (with an assist on the last issue by BERNI WRIGHTSON).

I know Marvel released a Frankenstein ESSENTIALS volume a while back, but I'm not sure if there's been an OMNIBUS edition yet. If and when they do, you could spend your money on something a lot less worthy. More Frankie covers to follow.
COMING SOON: FRANKENSTEIN VERSUS DRACULA!
