Raging Sex Monster!
According to the Drake’s Way tumblr, this is an advertisement that appeared in Horror Sex Tales #1, advertising Monster Sex Tales #1 “by” infamous director and author Ed Wood Jr. According to this forum post, Wood wrote at least three of the stories appearing in Monster Sex Tales #1; another site claims that Horror Sex Tales #1 was also “apparently written and edited entirely by Ed.” (An article at BadMags credits him with work for both publications, but also goes into detail about the difficulties with attributing Wood’s prolific magazine writing.) Both magazines were published by Gallery Press in 1972. This site claims that two stories in Monster Sex Tales were “partly cannibalized from The Adult Version of Frankenstein by Hal Kantor”, which may explain the theme of the advertisement art. However, The Adult Version Of Frankenstein appears to have been an adult novelistic treatment, not described in catalogs as having associated artwork. No information could be discovered about the magazine artist who drew the advertisement.
The advertising copy reads:
“Frankenstein, Raging Sex Monster! See the famous Frankenstein monster rage a lust-frenzied path across the pages of the most shockingly strange magazine to come to you in ages!! MONSTER SEX TALES!! A startling collection of tales about the half-man/half creature of book and movie fame — exciting and diverse interpretations by astute writers of today — guaranteed to keep you pinned solidly to your chair as you read from cover to cover!! Each story is illustrated in art and photos — and is definitely for the sexually-oriented reader!! You’ll find your collector’s first-edition copy of MONSTER SEX TALES at the same magazine stand that brings you WEIRD and HORROR SEX TALES.”

Frankestein’s Monster and the vore plant
Original post here. The pair of images are a comic with captions and dialog as follows:
Panel One
Title (1): The Monster of Frankestein and the Plant
The Scientist (2): There. See? It eats spiders now! The plant eats spiders! It has advanced — only week ago it could only eat flies! What will it be able to eat next week? And the week after? And then, in time, perhaps…
Panel Two
Caption (1): The scientist puts the baby donw on the floor in reach of the plant’s tentacles…and at the same time, the Frankenstein Monster emerges from another room…
Panel Three
Caption (1): The monster quickly sees what is going to happen to the baby. Infuriated, he sends the scientist sprawling…
Panel Four
Caption (1): …and grabs the baby out of the way of the reaching tentacles!
Panel Five
The Scientist (1): You moronic beast! What are you doing? Helping me or hindering me? You’re here to help me! Give me that baby!
Panel Six
The Scientist (1): Save me! Save me! Get this thing off me! I’ll do anything for you — give you anything! But save me before it eats me!
Panel Seven
Caption (1): The Frankestein monster moves toward the scientist. But his steps are slow. Not those of someone coming to another’s aid
The Scientist (2): Hurry! I can –feel –the teeth in me — hurry!
Panel Eight
The Scientist (1): Why — don’t you — get here faster…just get this thing…off me…and YAAAAH!
Panel Nine
Caption (1): Almost like a living animal, the plant pulsates, little sounds come from it as an awful hedeous thing happens! And the monster watches, just stands there and watches for two hours…
Panel Ten
Caption (1): That is all. The Frankenstein Monster knows the scientist will never bother him or anyone else evermore.
Panel Eleven
Caption (1): The plant is no longer hungry…its appetite is satiated. From flies to spiders to mice to a cat…and now an entire man. and the buds atop the plant once more undergo a change — a ghastly, awful change…

Some people think that Charles B. Griffith got the idea for his 1960 screenplay The Little Shop of Horrors from the 1931 short story Green Thoughts by John Collier, me I think a more likely candidate is a comic book story by Dick Briefer from 1951, The Monster of Frankenstein and the Plant.
Not the same, but look at the the design of the plant and the ending.
