Collector's Notes

CGC 8.0 · White Pages

A solid mid-grade copy. A healthy census of 55.

CGC census: 5 graded at 8.0 · 12 graded higher · 55 total · avg 6.66 (CGC Universal label)

Elsa Lanchester’s Bride of Frankenstein — wild-haired, electric-streaked — fronts Issue #17. Inside, the monster-makeup contest is judged by Jack Pierce, the man who designed the Universal faces, and the Glenn Strange profile gives the “other” Frankenstein Monster his due.
