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.
Continuing were Universal left off... Dec 31, 2007
Briefer's golden age, super-vicious reboot of Mary Shelley's mangled and maligned creation is hands down the best adaptation of Frankenstein for the four color format. If you thought EC comics were the pinnacle of 1950s horror comics, I implore you to purchase this collection and see if Dick Briefer's superb artwork and story plotting might change your mind.
True to his black & white cinematic roots Dec 29, 2007
Very few comic book writers, past or present, can successfully inject so much original concepts into their stories while simultaneously keeping the integral feel of an iconic character (in this case, the Frankenstein Monster) than Dick Briefer. Ghouls, mummies, zombies, werewolves, hunchbacks, man-eating plants and giant dinos all have places of honor among these tales, creating a visual thrillride for any luck reader who was wise enough to purchase this wonderful collection.
The comic that gave me nightmares has returned! Nov 11, 2007
I was AWESTRUCK when I discovered that this pre-code classic was available! These stories were my first introduction to horror as a kid, and although I did not have the complete set, I was amazed with what Dick Briefer got away with. I am happy to say that age has done nothing to dull the bloody edge of The Monster of Frankenstein.
My favorite story in the Graphic Novel is "The Rebirth of The Monster" where it starts out with two treasure huners have their necks broken by the Monster after one exclaims "There is nothing to fear from dead flesh and bones!"
How wrong he was. A must have GN for all fans of the Monster!!!
