# Frankenstein #5 The issue contains two stories. In the first, Frankenstein's monster is recruited to lead an Institute for the Rehabilitation of Maladjusted Ghosts after a man named Silas pushes the supposedly-indestructible Hubert Rockwell off a roof, only to have Hubert return as a ghost claiming newfound powers of invisibility and the ability to walk through walls. Frankenstein accepts the position and Silas, now reformed, wonders how Hubert fell. In the second story, a con artist selling a fake money-making apparatus to crowds is exposed when his magical bottle actually works—he attempts to use it for his own gain by making an enormous person disappear into it.

FrankensteinLennyCleoJerryHubert RockwellFreddySolid JacksonMervin

Frankenstein opens an Institute for the Rehabilitation of Maladjusted Ghosts on the Hubert Rockwell Estate, where a motley crew of troubled spirits—including Lenny, who's allergic to sheets; Freddy, who's terrified of everything; and Jerry, a jive-talking ghost who can't moan properly—come to learn the basics of proper ghosthood. When a mysterious student named Hubert reveals he's solid (encased in plastic after a fatal accident), Frankenstein must help all his pupils overcome their quirks, especially when a greedy businessman threatens to demolish the Institute. With humor and determination, this tale by Dick Briefer follows Frankenstein's unconventional teaching methods as he transforms a classroom of supernatural misfits into genuine, functioning ghosts.

A street magician's trick goes hilariously wrong when he actually manages to trap Frankenstein in a magic bottle—which later washes ashore at a lighthouse where the henpecked Morton and his domineering wife Margie discover it. When Morton learns the bottle grants wishes and uses it to make himself master of his own home, he gets exactly what he asked for, but the genie's magic comes with consequences neither he nor Margie bargained for.
