    Help me find a comic book that featured a Frankenstein like monster with a boy's head

    I posted this a couple of years ago...and a member found it for me.

    I lost track of that horror comic book.

    It holds a lot of nostalgia for me...I found it way back in 1976, when I was living in Guadalajara, Mexico.

    It was specifically in a shopping mall close to my neighborhood...very Americanized...stores in that area catered to a lot of foreigners...and you'd find Six Million Dollar figures, Lili Ledy's, and of course, American comic books. Kids were free to browse and read them...I bought some...but read a ton...aside from DC and Marvel, lots of Conan, Vampirella, Mad Magazine, etc, but the ones I enjoyed most were the Patchwork Frankenstein/Werewolf storylines, featured in the Swamp Thing comic books, it was my horror phase, lol...

    ...and one that really stuck with me (in my mind) was this horror-themed comic book...it featured a hulking almost innocent like creature...had a large Frankenstein body, but featured an oddly looking head resembling a boy. I think it killed but without meaning too.

    I'd like to get a copy of that off eBay.

        Kind of looks like a cross between Frankenstein and Quasimodo

          Patchwork Man made a huge impression on me as well. I hunted down the special double issue Swamp Thing I had as a kid a few years ago.
          I got to talk to Bernie Wrightson about it once. He said that he basically wanted to do Frankenstein, but hadn't started his illustrated version.
          They wanted monsters for the Swamp Thing and he came up with Patchwork Man, his knock-off of ol' Frank, in lieu of doing the real deal.
