Originally released as a four-issue limited series, this two-issue double feature tells the shocking story behind one of the body parts used to create the unforgettable monster in the original film.  

Universal Monsters: Frankenstein follows Dr. Henry Frankenstein as he begins his unholy quest to create life by robbing the grave of a decorated police officer to find necessary parts, specifically a strong pair of hands.
