Frankenstein #5

Jan 1976 · Arédit-Artima · 4 FRF
“Carnage”

In "Carnage," Ross Andru's dynamic art and Jack Abel's sharp inks bring to life a haunting tale of time, sacrifice, and the cost of redemption. An aged man arrives at a scientist's lab with a desperate plea: use an untested procedure to save a boy, unaware that the man is the scientist’s future self and the boy his own son. The story unfolds with quiet dread, as the past and future collide in a moment that reshapes destiny. John Romita’s cover captures the weight of that revelation, a stark image of a man burdened by time.
