Frankenstein Friday: The Mold!


This story, the second from Frankenstein Comics #12, March-April 1947, is a slapstick story, light on dialogue with lots of sight gags.

Well, "gag" is what I did when I read the story! The bilious looking mold reminded me of what I chucked up the last time I had the flu. Secondarily it reminded me of what happened when I replaced my kitchen cabinets and found toxic mold hiding behind them.

Makes you really want to read this story, doesn't it?

A mad scientist, looking for an evil form of penicillin (!!) turns himself, and most everyone around him, into mold. Which also reminds me. Are there any scientists in Golden Age Comics that aren't mad?

Enjoy the story…a real moldy oldie!
