This box art is interesting, only because it doesn't seem to be an adaptation of existing art for posters, but all-new artwork created specifically for the box!
"Frankenstein's" pose is copped directly from the poster,ocean liner and all, although his blue skin pigmentation is new (and very Marvel Comics Atlantean!). And opponent monster Baragon looks cheesier than he does in the movie itself, more Daiei than Toho.
The Blog of Frankenstein is your daily destination for vintage Frankenstein-related goodies, including posters, lobby cards, stills, toys, and other coolness! And yes, I know that Frankenstein was the doctor, and not the monster... but the term has become such common use thanks to toys and the like over the years that I don't have a problem sometimes using "Frankenstein" to refer to the monster.
I have been a Navy journalist, word processor, graphic designer, medical assisting student, cook, and truck driver, and am currently an eBay seller as well as an employee at a big retail store. I have been and always will be into comics, sf, tv, cartoons, monsters, oldies rock, and lots of other stuff.
