Frightenstein!
I was once upon a time a huge fan of AC Comics. I'm still a fan, but alas their few products have gotten a bit expensive for the spare entertainment contained. But back in the day, they were full of fun and light-hearted exploitative entertainment.
The core of AC Comics has always pretty much been Femforce, a collection of smart and beautiful superbabes who fight for right and sometimes even the American way. One thing AC is famous for, and it's because of Bill Black, the man behind AC, is the appreciation and revival of classic heroes from years gone by.
One old character they revived (sort of) was Dick Briefer's Frankenstein. For whatever reason, they couldn't or chose not to call him that, and instead called their version "Frightenstein".
Frightenstein showed up a few times in Femforce and then got spun out into his own horror one-shots which are really just old-fashioned ghost story anthologies. But the sport some fun covers, covers that show clearly what AC Comics are going for.
Rip Off
