Roy Thomas Presents Frankenstein Vol. 7

by Dick; Thomas, Roy Briefer

Dick Briefer's Frankenstein is widely regarded as being America's first ongoing horror series. Indeed, it was Briefer's work that probably caused the creature to be actually named as Frankenstein instead of the nameless monstrosity from Shelley's novel. Splitting the stories between two stools-humor and horror-Briefer's tales are absorbing and unsettling in equal parts. Some of the humorous material has already been reprinted, though not necessarily in order nor in total. Until now! Collects issues #22-27, December 1952/January 1953 to October/November 1953.

I'm still not a huge fan of this era of the comics, but towards the end it seems like Briefer kind of found some footing in it. Frankenstein fighting the whale is actually a superb issue of this series.
