Story[]
As the nights draw in around Castle Frank N. Stein, Chuck D. Head and Igor burst into the laboratory to discover that Professor Frank N. Stein has created a new monster. Igor's reaction changes from shock to bemusement as he notices that the creation's head is upside down. Consulting Anatomy for the D.I.Y. Monster Builder, Frank decides to grab a spanner (from The Really Big Spanner Co., no less) and spins the monster's head to its correct position. Chuck is livid, wondering why Frank needs two monsters. The professor agrees, so the new arrival vows to destroy Chuck. When throwing Head fails to work, Chuck is beaten and the monster picks him up and prepares to throw him off the castle. As Frank says his goodbyes to Chuck, he happily tells his newest creation that he'll be spending the rest of his life there. However, the monster takes this badly and jumps off the balcony instead.
A few months later, Chuck is watching "Gladiators" and is shocked to see which "muscle-bound nit-wit" has joined the cast...
Trivia[]
- Although the monster's name wasn't revealed, he would later return in Boris & the Book as the titular character.
