"Frankenstein's Family" by Dick Briefer





Dick Briefer's stories could be a little odd at times, but they sure are fun to look at. Between his humorous Frankenstein stories, and his later horror stories, his is easily the best version of the Monster in comic book form (in my opinion). I do prefer these funny Frankenstein stories, though, and I love the character design of the Monster himself. Pushing that nose up above the eyes was genius.

This is the first of four stories in this issue.

Here is "Frankenstein's Family" from Frankenstein #3 (July-August 1946):

Frankenstein by Dick Briefer


I've been reading a lot of these great old comics on other blogs, and I figure I should contribute something to the online Dick Briefer archive.

I have copies of issues #3 and #4, and I will be uploading both issues in their entirety (but probably one story at a time). But first I have some Walt Kelly and maybe some more Barks coming up.

In the meantime, why not check out the stories that are already available? At Pappy's Golden Age Blog, you can find an awful lot of Frankenstein, look for the stories here. He also has the "origin" story from Frankenstein #1. Over at Joyville, Gabriel has posted one of the later horror stories, "Entranced". Enjoy!
