Roy Thomas Presents FRANKENSTEIN in Prize Comics Volume 1 The Prize Comics Years. Collects stories from #7-37, 1940-43. Highly Recommended. Edited by Roy Thomas, 1974 Briefer interview. Lengthy illustrated essay on the history of the monster from book to stage to films, by Don Glut. Dick Briefer's Frankenstein for Prize Comics is widely regarded as being America's first ongoing horror series. And it was pure horror, with Dr. Frankenstein desperately trying to kill his own creation, who's out creating mayhem and murder. Then a new character comes along to track the monster. And The Black Owl, Yank and Doodle, Dr. Frost and other heroes of Prize Comics cross over in a rare instance of blending strips. These are the very rarest episodes and this volume was long delayed while the publisher located copies to use. PS Artbooks, 2021....More. Item Code: FRA01 Soft Cover, 7x10, 256pg, Full Color $36.99 |

This volume was first announced for August shipment, so I’m not going to speculate on when we will expect Volume 2. But we will handle it, which will complete the Prize Comics stories. PS is apparently NOT doing this in a hardcover edition. In 2014 and 2015, PS published Briefer’s Frankenstein Comics beginning with #1 (1945) to #33 (1954). Most of these are special order items now: Volumes 3 (FRA03H. $53), 4-8 (FRA04H etc. $48 each). And here are all other books with Frankenstein. |

Most if not all stories are by the famed Richard Hughes, who packed these with offbeat, fun and dramatic works of the supernatural, the exotic, of flying saucers and time travel, of eternal life...
