Frankenstein v3 #6 - Mike Ploog art & cover

Mike Ploog

(Monster of) Frankenstein v3 #6, 1973 - Less thoughtfully composed than previous efforts, Mike Ploog's cover design squeezes too many elements in too confined a space (John Romita may have redrawn the monster's face). A busy first page opens to a double page spread that lacks drama and dynamism. Atop the layout, two silent and separate panel sequences converge on the main scene below. Despite this squandered opportunity, Ploog superbly renders the remaining pages. Primarily set in the bowels of a medieval castle, the artist draws the filth and squalor all too realistically. His depiction of the maniacal leader borders on farcical, but overall Ploog's brilliant drawings more than compensate.
