The first volume in Yoe Book's thrilling new series, "The Horror Comic Book Masters Library," fittingly features the first and foremost maniacal monster of all time... Frankenstein! Dick Briefer is one of the seminal artists who worked with Will Eisner on some of the very first comic books. Briefer created a bizarre, twisted version of the classic Frankenstein that is legend among comic book aficionados. If you like the comic book weirdness of cartoonists Fletcher Hanks, Basil Wolverton, and Boody Rogers, you're sure to thrill over Dick Briefer's creation of Frankenstein. The large format book lovingly reproduces a monstrous number of stories from the original 1940s and '50s comic books. Briefer did both a dark horror take and a more humorous-yet twisted-styling of Frankenstein, and both are powerfully showcased here. The stories are fascinatingly supplemented by an insightful introduction with rare photos of the artist, original art, letters from Dick Briefer, drawings by Alex Toth inspired by Briefer's Frankenstein-and much more!

Great book,

This review is from: Dick Briefer's Frankenstein (Library of Horror Comics Master) (Hardcover)
This is an outstanding collection / overview of Briefer's Frankenstein comics, from the early horror angle to the comedic take then back to horror again. The reproduction is appropriate and the die-cut cover is awesome. Well worth the money.

No one does it better!,
This review is from: Dick Briefer's Frankenstein (Library of Horror Comics Master) (Hardcover)
The books compiled by Craig Yoe are beautiful. You don't need to be a Frankenstein fan to appreciate the care given to this book. But if you are interested in this kooky, and sometimes creepy interpretation of The Monster, then there is no better way to experience Dick Briefer's wonderful work.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dick Briefer's Frankenstein (Library of Horror Comics Master) (Hardcover)
The packaging really is wonderful, and as the previous reviewer noted, the reproduction is appropriate. I don't really have quibbles with what's here. It's great, BUT - I do wish that there was a book that compiled all of the humorous stories in one or two volumes. The amount here gives a good taste, but is not as immersive as I would like.And, as long as I'm wishing, I would like all the later horror-driven stories to be collected in a one or two volume set with the deluxe treatment. I have the cheap black and white book available through Amazon, but would pay for something more durable (this would not need to be in color unlike the humorous stories). Some day...
