Briefers’ Frankenstein: Comic Series – Volume 5 (Monochrome Edition)

Description

FRANKENSTEIN, BY DICK BRIEFER SUCCESSFULLY STRADDLED THE FENCE BETWEEN HORROR
AND HUMOR. ALTHOUGH THE STORIES OCCASIONALLY USED HORROR TROPES, LIKE
WEREWOLVES, VAMPIRES AND MUMMIES, THE TALES WERE OFTEN FUNNY. THE DEPICTIONS
WERE SIMULTANEOUSLY ABSURB AND GROTESQUE, WHILE REFLECTING POST WORLD WAR
TWO SENSIBILITIES.
DICK BRIEFERÕS VERSION OF FRANKENSTEIN ORIGINALLY APPEARED AS PART OF THE LINE UP
IN THE ANTHOLOGY SERIES PRIZE COMICS. THE CHARACTER WAS SO POPULAR THAT IN 1945
FRANKENSTEIN WAS GIVEN HIS OWN COMIC BOOK SERIES.
