Lew Stringer Comics: Frankendrac

Frankendrac!

During my 16 years as a writer/artist on Toxic magazine I created a lot of villains and monsters for Team Toxic to deal with. One such was Frankendrac! Part reanimated corpse, part vampire, Frankendrac encountered Team Toxic numerous times.

When I have time I'll dig out some Team Toxic strips and post them on this blog.

Comic horrors!

There's a new issue of Toxic out tomorrow (21st October) and my Team Toxic strip has a suitably spooky theme. The Team investigate a haunted house and encounter one of their oldest foes; Frankendrac!

It's been a long time since I've used Frankendrac as a villain in the strip so I'm sure some readers will be seeing him for the first time. Dare you enter the Haunted House of Horrible Horrors in Toxic No.262 this week? On sale Wednesday 21st October from newsagents and supermarkets.

Like most children's comics these days, Toxic comes bagged with gifts. In this case, a slingshot, stickers, and sweets. Here's the bag to look out for...

A brief history:

I've worked as a freelance professional humour comics artist and writer for over 40 years.
