MONSTER OF FRANKENSTEIN "Tomb of Death"

Here's something you don't usually see in American comics...
...Mexican (instead of Egyptian) mummies!
Well, if the Monster was gone, we wouldn't have a next issue, eh?
Note: Unlike Egyptian mummies, which were typically placed in a horizontal position within a sarcophagus, Aztec mummies were usually placed in seated positions.
To maintain the pose of the body, the remains were often secured within a cloth wrapping, sometimes with rope.
This second of two stories from Prize's Monster of Frankenstein V3N3 (aka #19) shows writer/artist Dick Briefer "loosening up" in terms of both scripting and art, as his usual tendencies towards wild (even by comics' standards) storytelling!
Buckle up, kiddies!
Next week is gonna be FUN!!!
The Terror Continues...
