Glenn Strange’s Frankenstein Monster fronts the 1965 annual — “Don’t Be a Bat-Fink!” orders Warren’s editorial — over a strong early-sixties reprint slate: Hammer’s Curse of the Werewolf from Issue #12, “Gorgo the Gargantuan” from Issue #11, Poe’s Pit and the Pendulum from Issue #14, and “Lon Chaney Shall Not Die!” with the famous London After Midnight vampire photo.
