HELL-RIDER ---- A result (or maybe victim) of the miracle life-saving cure Q-47, he rides – AND RIDES – and justice follow him!
It would be the rare person who needs to be introduced to Dr. Frankenstien's creation – man or monster, victim or evil incarnate! For 200 years he has been the subject of stories, longer even than his counterpart, Dracula. Frankenstein: Book II is the unique 1970s interpretation from the popular Skywald B&W horror magazines; not your granfather's Frankenstein, to be sure. The writing is spectacular, the artwork beyond impressive – and it is all here!
Also inside – a three story series The Saga Of Frankenstein, a completely different interpretation!
Launched by Golden Age veteran Sol Brodsky and I.W. Publishing's pirate reprinter Israel Waldman, Skywald (using parts of each last name) was going to be the next force in comics! The long list of established professionals suiggested that this would be the case: Writers T. Casey Brennan, Gerry Conway, Steve Englehart, Gardner Fox, Doug Moench, Dave Sim, Len Wein, and Marv Wolfman, and artists Rich Buckler, Gene Day Vince Colletta, Bill Everett, Bruce Jones, Pablo Marcos, Syd Shores, Chic Stone, and Tom Sutton (plus a little work from newcomer John Byrne). The line centered on horror, with NIGHTMARE, PSYCHO and SCREAM headlining. The stories were top-notch and the artwork unparalleled, and for five years Skywald offered masters of the genre. Alas, this small company could not compete with the power of major distributors of Marvel and DC, being pushed off the newsstands, until in 1975 the last Skywald issue was published.
Skywald produced incredible stories, but they were negligent in one very important task – they failed to copyright their horror mags. So, for the first time in Gwandanaland ComicsTM history, we're able to bring you some great books from the 1970s! Look for the individual issues, economical four-issue collections, and even some bigger than that!
