Issue Notes

The 1974 Psycho Fall-Special is also Psycho #22, although it doesn’t say so anywhere in the issue itself. There was also a 1974 Psycho Yearbook that came out the same month, further confusing the matter.

Indexer Notes

Not a continuation of Skywald's earlier "Frankenstein, Book II" {although the writer/artist team are the same people who concluded that series} but rather a continuation of Hewetson's take on the character, begun in Scream #7.

Indexer Notes

About H. P. Lovecraft and the Shoggoth series. It contained a Virgil Finlay portrait of Lovecraft, a concept sketch of Cthulhu by HPL himself, a checklist of Skywald’s Shoggoth stories, and a offer for a Shoggoth crusade certificate, signed by Hewetson and others, making the reader a part of Skywald’s crusade against the Shoggoths {playing off the fact that Hewetson and other Skywald creators had been featured as protagonists in the previous Shoggoth stories}.
