Frankenstein #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFrankenstein's hobby is building coffins for an exhibit, and he asks his servant Junior to prepare a spiderweb sandwich while he continues working. When Junior disappears, Frankenstein discovers that an undertaker named Brother Jones has enlisted him as a vacuum cleaner salesman, claiming his coffins—designed to last five hundred years—are perfect for people who come to life after burial. After Frankenstein realizes the undertaker is sending bodies from the graveyard to become salesmen, he attempts to escape, leading to a car chase where his vehicle crashes and he finds himself stranded with other confused victims of the scheme.
When Frankenstein sets out to get photographs made for his adoring fans, a chance encounter with an escaped convict leads to a case of mistaken identity—and suddenly he's the prime suspect in a prison break! With the Governor refusing to intervene, his friends must devise an outrageous plan to spring him from death row before justice takes its course. It's a wild ride of comic chaos that proves sometimes the best disguise is hiding in plain sight.
Frankenstein agrees to watch over a young ghost child while the boy's mother goes shopping, but a smooth-talking vacuum cleaner salesman has other plans—he's actually the Ghostnapper, using his machine to separate ghosts from their sheets. When the child goes missing and Frankenstein discovers the salesman's scheme, he and Vera must track down the culprit and rescue all the kidnapped ghosts before they're lost for good.
Frankenstein discovers a new hobby when he decides to carve custom coffins for his vampire friends, but his genuine passion for the craft gets swept up when he's entered into an undertakers' convention competition. With a collection of delightfully specialized designs—each tailored to very particular circumstances—Frankenstein's homemade coffins face off against the professionals' offerings in this playful 1947 tale.
When Frankenstein lands a job as an assistant and discovers a magical incantation that brings automobiles to life, he sets one car loose on an innocent night's rest—but the spell doesn't stop there. A scheming car salesman seizes the opportunity to manufacture thousands of brand-new vehicles, flooding the market with a product nobody can control, with chaotic and hilarious consequences.
