[edit] Aminadab

I've Googled for references showing that Aminadab is somehow related to Igor, but other than the fact that Aminadab is a mad scientist's assistant, I've found no claims that Aminadab is Igor's inspiration. Is there a source for this speculation? Travisl 04:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Son of Frankenstein

All-America Comics published in 1939 Movie Comics#1, which features an adaptation of Son of Frankenstein, which was the first appearance of Igor or Ygor, and therefore this was the first comic book appearance of Igor or Ygor-which oddly enough this article now makes no entry of.

Should we maybe clarify that the stock character "Igor" who appears in various Universal Horror pastiches is actually an amalgam of Dwight Frye's hunchback character from the first two Frankenstein films and Bela Lugosi's "Ygor" character (not a hunchback, but rather a fugitive with a broken neck) from "Son of Frankenstein"? And where does the surname "Manic" referenced in the article originate? This is the first I've heard of it. RossEron 19:03, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
