Castle Of Frankenstein With Edgar Burroughs
Page 28 of Castle of Frankenstein #18 features Frankenstein Mini-Reviews, and the movies covered are "Light at the Edge of the World" ("action-filled" Verne adaptation), The Omega Man (rave review, longer than any other review in this issue), "The Return of Count Yorga" ("very good sequel"), "Desperate Characters" ("nightmare horrors"), "Next" ("a real weirdo" Italian-Spanish feature), "Night of Dark Shadows" ("pallid"), "Zacariah" (compared to "El Topo," "it doesn't work"), "Peter Rabbit & The Tales of Beatrix Potter" ("animation would be preferable"), "Get Carter" ("...violence... overload..."), "Supergirl" (not the DC character,this was a German low-budgeter that had been seen on German-French TV), and "Shinbone Alley" (animated version of "Krazy Kat", except without Krazy!).
Pages 29 through 33 cover "Night of the Living Dead," and the movie is given quite in-depth coverage, as it deserves!
And pages 34 and 35, the centerspread, is kind of a fumetti adapation of "His Return to Opar," authorized by ERB!
