Prize Comics #12 (24)
In "Utter Failure!", Bulldog Denny summons a team of heroes to confront the rampaging Frankenstein monster, threatening the nation’s safety just as he’s called to Washington for defense duties. Written, drawn, and inked by Dick Briefer, this 1942 thriller blends wartime urgency with supernatural flair, as the Green Lama invokes ancient magic to send the creature into a realm of nightmarish trials—before the heroes finally drive him to a cliff’s edge. The cover, by Jack Binder, captures the chaos in bold, dynamic lines.

Because he is being called to Washington D.C. on defense matters, Bulldog Denny calls together a group of heroes to deal with the Frankenstein monster, who has not been stopped from ravaging many areas of the country. When the monster is weakened, the Green Lama repeats magic Tibetan words that seem to send the monster into another world where he faces a variety of fearful foes. Then reality sets back in and the heroes force the monster off a cliff to his apparent doom.
