Books about Briefer from Amazon.com

Amazon Significant Seven, March 2008: I may be alone here, but when I read Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, a whole strata of American artists came to life for me. Ever since then I've been waiting for a book like David Hajdu's The Ten-Cent Plague to come along and show me the contours of this world. Anyone who remembers Positively 4th Street will recognize in this new book Hajdu's peerless ability to weave first-person recollections with an acute perspective of America at a pivotal moment in its cultural timeline. The rise of comics as a mode of expression, an outlet for entertainment, and, rather tragi-comically, as a target for censorship, couldn't be more compelling in anyone else's hands. In deft narrative strokes Hajdu creates a colorful, character-driven story of our first real--and lasting--counterculture (if the burgeoning popularity of graphic novels is any indication) and shows why we embrace it still.--Anne Bartholomew

The early 1950s were the Golden Age of horror comics. One of the most legendary titles of the era was Dick BrieferÂ’s MONSTER OF FRANKENSTEIN, the first continuing series to feature a creature of darkness in a starring role. Veteran comics pro Briefer pulled out all the stops to create a truly great version of the Frankenstein Monster. Now, over a half-century later, these timeless, hard-hitting tales are collected for the first time in a big bonanza volume to delight monster lovers and comics fans alike. Combining bold visual flair and inventiveness with impressive storytelling abilities, Dick Briefer here claims his rightful place with such great writer/artists as Chester Gould (DICK TRACY) and Jack Cole (PLASTIC MAN)..
