I remember seeing advertisements for this in more than one issue. I'll check to see which issue had the pin up.

Jimbo,

The advertisement was for a "Giant Life Size Frankenstein Pin-Up Over 6 Feet Tall. Drawn by Jack Davis. Only $2.00." It was advertised in a number of issues but I don't think it came as a pin-up with an issue.

The Jack Davis pin-up was in the early 1960s. Since your art piece was 2002 there may have been a later FM that had that pin-up. I mainly collected FMs thru the 1980s.

If it was a pinup, it had to be from the relaunch of FM. The original run ended in 1983.

Yeah ...I haven't had any luck..... either way, even if it's just an homage, its still cool. GOD BLESS....

....this sounds weird....but I keep waking up in the middle of the night to look at it..... I totally loved Stout's dinosaur stuff, and never realized he worked for Famous Monsters as well.... after checking eBay, I found several issues with his covers. Maybe it's in one of those. GOD BLESS...

If it were mine, I'd have it blown up life size, cut out mounted on foam core as a Halloween decoration!
