Frankenstein: The Mad Science of Dick Briefer

Dick Briefer’s classic, offbeat take on the Frankenstein monster gets a modern spotlight in this single-issue 2015 Dark Horse one-shot. Showcasing Briefer’s uniquely playful and macabre 1940s-50s artwork, this collection reprints his distinctive vision—part horror, part humor—that made his Frankenstein a cult favorite. It’s a concise tribute to a forgotten master of monster comics, preserving his quirky, influential spin on Mary Shelley’s creation.
