Frankenstein #10 (1974)

The Frankenstein Monster caresses Carmen's dead body. Suddenly, Vincent Frankenstein, the self-proclaimed "last Frankenstein" enters the cave and surprises the monster. The monster spins around and attacks the man, seeking to take his vengeance on anyone bearing the name Frankenstein. A Russian hunchback named Ivan who works for Vincent Frankenstein lunges to defend his master. He grips the monster in a brutal bear hug and manages to drive the creature down onto the floor of the cave. With the monster apparently subdued, Vincent Frankenstein goes over to examine him. The monster is only playing possum however, and he grabs Frankenstein by the throat, smashing him to the ground. He nearly kills him, but Ivan attacks and drives the creature out of the cave towards a cliff. The monster falls over the edge, but manages to grab onto the lip of the cliff. Frankenstein orders Ivan to help him up. The monster is no use to him dead, and he plans to continue his great uncle's scientific experiments. Ivan obeys and pulls the monster to safety. Frankenstein calms the monster down, and tells him that he may be able to transplant his brain into a normal human body. The monster agrees to go with him back to England, but first they must bury Carmen. All three arrive in London, and Frankenstein brings the creature into the basement laboratory of his home. He injects the monster with anesthetic, but the dose is too small to render the creature unconscious. The monster suddenly realizes that Frankenstein cares little for his actual welfare, and is just as willing to sacrifice the monster’s life in the name of science. The monster rushes towards Vincent, but Ivan blocks his path once again. The Russian picks up the crate that was used to transport the monster to London and smashes it across his back. The injections finally begin to take effect and the monster falls over unconscious. Vincent Frankenstein orders Ivan to prepare him for surgery.
