Fit for a Frankenstein by Paul McComas and Greg Starrette

This sweet little novella explains that little 8 minute gap that exists from the beginning of Ghost of Frankenstein when Ygor and the Monster emerge from the wreckage covered in sulfur to escape the town and then emerge in the the town of Vasaria in a new suit! The authors combine together to give us that missing and hilarious story that explains what happens, gives us a few chuckles and explains just how he got a clean, new, size 66 XXL suit while they traveled from town to town. You can tell these guys are fans cause they nail both Ygor and the Monster perfectly in this quick read that will have any fan of the Universal Monster movies smiling with little homages to the following films in the Frankenstein franchise as well as the movie with Abbot and Costello. This is the story that Universal dare not tell...and you'll see why! You'll laugh, you'll smile, you'll enjoy this fun little read. Now, if they could only explain the look in Son of Frankenstein in a similar fashion, I'll be good! I mean, where did that vest come from!? Thus, if you're like me and you love Frankie, get this book....or else Ygor will send his friend after you!
