SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Okay, here we go with one of my favorite series. I love the Wayne Howard covers, lots of details and always a bit of humor thrown in. I’ll start each issue comment out with a little discussion about Arachne or that stupid clock on the covers and then a little history of how I ended up with the comic.
Okay, here we go. A couple of things pop right off this cover for me. Well, enough about Arachne. The clock, other then the fact that it seems to be on every cover just doesn’t seem like it should be in Frankensteins work area. Why does it always read 12 o’clock, would you be down there in the lab at midnight? The cover always reminds me of the stories you hear about hospitals taking out the wrong kidney or removing the wrong leg. Look at all the detail on this cover, the brick work, the details in the scientific equipment, and the clothing. That’s a bunch of line work.

Wayne Howard is best known for his 1970s work at Charlton Comics, where he became American comic books' first series creator known to be credited on covers, with the horror anthology Midnight Tales announcing "Created by Wayne Howard” on each issue (except for issue #2, see next listing), a declaration perhaps unique in the industry at the time"
