It's Alive.... Again! Mar 10, 2009
This collection of the classic Dick Briefer Monster of Frankenstein comics is an indispensable addition to any horror comic fan's collection. Whenever you hear people say they don't make 'em like they used to, they're talking about this. These comics have been reprinted lovingly, so that they could be enjoyed by people like me... and you! A must have!
 forgotten classic Nov 21, 2008
I had read a couple of Dick Briefer's humorous stories of Frankenstein in different anthologies(there's one in Art Out of Time)and enjoyed them.
They in no way prepared me for this version which is a straight on horror comic. Briefer manages to give the monster a sympathetic personality without softening him and comes up with some very clever plots. The one where the monster is frozen in ice and put on a publicity tour is great.
The art is shot from issues of the comic and could have been sharpened a little-but who cares when the drawings are so alive. I had no idea Briefer was this good.
The only reason I'm not giving it five stars? The cover where someone did a crummy job of coloring one of the drawings in Photoshop. Too much modeling has ruined comic coloring-look at Hellboy to see how a comic should be colored. Alright, I'm done ranting. If you like horror comics order this-it's a forgotten classic.

Under-appreciated Genius Aug 04, 2008
Dick Briefer is an under-appreciated genius and this is some of his best work. My only gripe is that it's not in color.
The bodies fly Jan 06, 2008
How many men and monsters must Frankenstein crush, kill, or destroy before the he can find peace? Well, in Briefer's landmark golden age horror comic, a whole hell-of-a lot! Get this book and you will see the monster cut a blood path into the annals of horror comic history.
The tragedy of Dick Briefer Jan 05, 2008
If you combined the scripting talents of Stan Lee with the visionary artistic abilities of Jack Cole you would have Dick Briefer. So why have you never heard of him? Briefer had the great misfortune of working for comic companies that went belly-up in the late fifties. If only Dick, and his famous rendition of the Frankenstein Monster, made their way to the offices of DC or Marvel Comics instead of an advertising agency, silver age comic who have been vastly improved.
