If Norrin had seen a couple movies, he probably would've been better off.

Watching Hammer horror movies might've cut into his brooding time, though. From 1980, Fantasy Masterpieces #7, reprinting 1969's Silver Surfer #7, "The Heir of Frankenstein!" Written by Stan Lee, pencils by John Buscema, inks by Sal Buscema.

I have to dig out another reprint of this one, since per the GCD four pages are cut here. Yet it still feels a little long, since the titular heir of Frankenstein is a caricature of the usual mad scientist. He's vain and cruel, and his experiments ae less about proving anything scientific than his right as a Frankenstein. The Surfer saves him and his Igor-like assistant Borgo from the angry mob of torch-wielding villagers, even though the villagers were in the right for a change. Still, while the Surfer isn't dumb enough to be snookered by the unctuous Frankenstein; since he remembers what happened with Doctor Doom; but Frankenstein lures him back and creates a duplicate Surfer, which he sends to punish the villagers.

Borgo turns on his master, eventually pushing them both out of a window. While the Surfer is able to destroy his duplicate, the duplicate's rampage doesn't do his reputation much good. Actually, the humans already really hated and mistrusted him, it's a theme throughout the series, yeah.

The original issue was the last twenty-five cent issue of the series; the next issue the page count would drop from 40 to 20. The next issue of Fantasy Adventures would still cut maybe a couple pages from the Surfer story, but the reprints of Adam Warlock's Strange Tales would begin there.
