ROY THOMAS PRESENTS BRIEFER FRANKENSTEIN SOFTEE (2025)

At last! In our new Softee format the second volume of PS Artbooks' Roy Thomas Presents: Dick Briefer's Frankenstein set! Volumes 3-8 were previously published in hardcover. Volume 2 collects the "Frankenstein" stories from Prize Comics #38-68 (1944-1948), With illustrated introductions by Frankenstein expert Don Glut and Dick Briefer.

Dick Briefer's Frankenstein for Prize Comics 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 the twin stools of humor and horrorm 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, of course! Reprints Prize Comics stories issues #7-37 (December 1940-December 1943).
