TOMORROW: It’s time to Journey into Unknown Worlds for a 5-day look at this groundbreaking Golden Age Atlas series. Sinister undertakers, vampires, robots and pure evil from beyond the stars, it all starts tomorrow so don’t miss a single day!
I feel kind of wrong saying this here, of all places, but that was the cutest thing I ever did see.
ReplyDeleteBriefer was a giant. He excelled in two vastly different registers.
ReplyDeleteTerrific 2 days of posting. Thanks, Karswell!
"I don't trust it to anyone else."
ReplyDeleteFor a professor, he sure isn't too smart.
The egg-shaped ballast was brilliant. I can't decide whether I love the more complex "serious" Frankenstein horror stories better, or these whimsical earlier cartoony ones. The fact that Briefer naturally progressed from one to the other, and excelled at both, is mind-boggling.
ReplyDeleteI would have liked for today's story to be about a page longer, of course. (I'd have liked it to be a hundred pages longer, in fact). I would have really liked to follow the growing real baby dinosaur around the parade. I would have liked to follow the professor's attempts to incubate the stone (and nurture the eventual stone dinosaur that surely would have hatched).
Here are quick links to the other Dick Briefer Frankenstein stories I've posted in the past:

Funny or scary Briefer's one of the best takes on the classic Frankenstein Character ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
FUN STORY, THE ART IS PERFECT. THIS WOULD HAVE MADE A GREAT SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON DONE IN THIS STYLE.
ReplyDeleteAND THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP ABOUT LEAVES FROM SATAN'S BOOK, LOOKING FORWARD TO IT AND TO THE THEME THIS WEEK!! THANKS
when Doc Frankenstein was making this creature he must have held the guidebook upside down when adding the nose!
ReplyDeleteI think that this version of the Monster was never killed because the villagers decided he was just too darn adorable.
ReplyDeleteMan... Frankie's none too careful about his suits of armour and their sword safety, is he? He could do himself a nasty injury!
