THOREAU A Sublime LIfe -- By Max Le Roy. Art by A. Dan. "To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust.” This biographical graphic novel introduces us to the down-to-earth man himself, who would become a great author (Walden Pond), philosopher and pioneering ecologist--as well as the father of the concept, still fresh today (viz "Occupy Wall St."), of "civil disobedience" which he used against slavery and the encroachment of government....More. |

Lawrence Watt-Evans provides a lengthy introduction with an overview of the development of horror comics in the late 1940s through to the mid-1950s.

ROY THOMAS PRESENTS FRANKENSTEIN Volume 5 Slipcased -- Closeout Price! Collects #11-15, 1948. Limited, 300! Recommended. Written and drawn by Dick Briefer. Frankenstein in Prize Comics is widely regarded as being America's first ongoing horror series. Our hero meets man-eating plants, green mold that comes to life, darkly sinister babes, crooks and hoodlums, and even actor Boris Karloff in an offbeat story. These are entirely looney storytelling, and it's really pretty fun stuff from the Golden Age of Comics. Indeed, it was Briefer's work that probably caused the creature to be actually referred to as Frankenstein instead of the nameless monstrosity from Shelley's novel.....More. |

Alright--now we get to the stories I like best. With issue #18, Frankenstein took a swing to the dark side. No more humor, it was now time for dark, gothic stories of mayhem and murder. Franky spares no one if he's po'ed or trying to protect anything from dumb critters to little girls, and the bad guys get done in in lovely pre-code fashion. Briefer tightens up his artwork to work in this pure horror vein, and these issues from now on are twisted and fun....More. |

Each issue also includes two back-up horror tales by artists Mort Meskin, Marvin Stein (several), and lots of unknowns. Poor Frankenstein, when he's not killing well-deserving bad guys, he also encounters mummy creatures and a wolfman, is frozen alive, is taken aboard a whaling ship, inadvertently makes friends with a grave-robbing ghoul, and finds an equally horrible mate, who of course he loses to a gun-toting mob....More. |

While earlier issues were pure humor, here Frankenstein continues, and in fact concludes, its dark, sinister turn into pure horror. I particularly like these stories, as the mute monster relentlessly deals out harsh, final justice to anyone who wishes him ill. He also became a silent judge-and-jury when he finds others persecuted or wronged. Each issue also includes two back-up stories, horror tales typical of the horror comics genre before the code came along....More. |
