Frankenstein Comics

Dick Briefer’s singular vision drove this five-issue horror-comedy series from Arnold Book Company, which revived his distinctive take on Mary Shelley’s monster for the 1950s. Blending macabre frights with a gentle, often absurd sense of humor, Briefer’s Frankenstein became a lovable, lumbering figure in a short but memorable run that stands as a unique footnote in classic monster comics.
