Volume 2 collects the \"Frankenstein\" stories from Prize Comics. Special 8-page illustrated introduction, \"Heil, Frankenstein\" by \u003cstrong\u003eDon Glut. \u003c\/strong\u003eOur lad even picks up a \"ghoul-friend,\" Zora! Wild, fun stories full of creativity.\n\nDue to the difficulty of collecting together all these issues, PS Artbooks began this series with Volume 3, and published through volume 8 all in hardcover editions. Many of these are now out of print. This (plus Volume 1) finally completes the set, with all the stories that appeared as back up strips in \u003cem\u003ePrize, \u003c\/em\u003ewhere Frankenstein made his very first appearance in comic book form.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDick Briefer\u003c\/strong\u003e's Frankenstein eventually got his very own title from the same publisher, which ran for 33 issues from 1945 to 1954. The Frankenstein stories began as a more serious movie-inspired series of stories. But by 1945, Briefer decided to lighten it up. That's what you'll find in this volume. But eventually Dick or the publishers decided to get serious again. They caught the horror bug and went big time into dark, murderous stories (that are my personal favorites) starting with issue #18 of \u003cem\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/em\u003e and running to the end of that series, long after the strip had breathed it's last in the pages of \u003cem\u003ePrize Comics\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59640139481374,"sku":"FRA02","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/fra02-roy-thomas-presents-frankenstein-in-prize-comics-vol-2-book.jpg?v=1784488171","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/roy-thomas-presents-frankenstein-2","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
