ReplyDeleteBut, really, if he wanted any sort of human or human-like companionship, then he shouldn't have proceeded as he did upon the outset of his '50s revival. Sure, there are dames that go for that sort of thing, but it's not as if there were a mixer to which he come have gone to meet them.
A well done comic book story that would have certainly impressed me as a kid. Now grown up some, I admire even more than back then the layout, the expressive drawing, the inking with some pen and a lot of fine brushwork. My hat's off to Dick Briefer.
ReplyDeleteThere's always been the idea in comics that recently dead bodies are easily pose-able flush full of rosy skin dolls. This is not the case.

Oh, Frankie... the bitter irony of it all.
ReplyDeleteDaniel, obviously Frankenstein was lonely long before the Internet. Had he had Match.com who knows what kind of soulmate he would have found.
ReplyDelete7f7, I totally agree with your assessment of Briefer's artwork. It is also telling in how much comics changed in a short time that someone decided (was it Briefer himself?) that his formerly funny character should morph into the more traditional monster.
ReplyDeleteBrian, as my dear late Big Pappy often told me, "Son, make sure they're still warm. The cold ones don't move around as much." I assume he was speaking figuratively.
