Frankenstein #1
"La dernière bataille du monstre" kicks off Frankenstein #1 (1975) with a chilling twist on domestic horror: a dishonest builder constructs his dream home from cursed timber, only to find his worst nightmares are rooted in the walls themselves. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by George Klein, the story unfolds with a creeping dread as the house refuses to let go—literally. Mike Ploog’s haunting cover captures the unease perfectly, setting the tone for a tale where the walls have eyes and the foundation is alive.
