DOCTOR GRAVES MAGIC BOOK

I'm not sure how old I was when I got this book through a book club at school. Dr. Graves was the narrator of a horror comic anthology entitled The Many Ghost of Dr. Graves. It was published by Charlton Comics from 1967 - 1982. Many great comic book artist worked on this book over the years including Steve Ditko, Jim Aparo, John Byrne and Pat Boyette. Looking at the artwork, I'm guessing this is Jim Aparo's work. The text and magic tricks are by D.J. Arneson.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a magician, which explains why I ordered this book. Each story revolves around a story and magic trick to go with it. I decided to post one involving Halloween.

WORST FRAKENSTEIN BOOK COVER EVER!


Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is in public domain, so their are many copies from many publishers. I'm not sure where I got this one, but this has to be the worst attempt at trying to create a monster that looks like the Universal version without being sued for copyright infringement.


He looks more like Milton the Monster than Boris Karloff as the monster.
