Frank #4
In "Happiness Is a Warm Corpse," Frank faces his most twisted trial yet when Dr. Lazar's grotesque experiments push him to the edge. With help from Temple, Frank breaks free during a horrifying procedure, turning the tables on his tormentor in a blaze of fire and destruction. The aftermath leaves Frank with a new choice: to step away from the chaos and try, for the first time, to live a quiet life. Written by D. G. Chichester and Craig Mitchell, with bold art by Denys Cowan and inks by J. J. Birch and Pat Gabriele, this 1994 issue features a striking cover by George Pratt.
