We’re still reeling from the release (escape?) of Dick Briefer’s Frankenstein, the newest volume from Yoe books. It collects the best of Dick Briefer’s Frankenstein stories (natch!) and a nicer job of packaging and book design you’re not likely to find.

In addition to the excellent reproduction of the vintage comic book pages, the book also features a die-cut cover with a nifty eyeball effect. It just begs for customization, either by using it as a mask and letting your own eyebones shine through (see above), or by creating your own custom look as I have done below using a sheet of paper and a Sharpie.

Last Tuesday we presented the quintessential Frankenstein record, the classic-rock classic “Frankenstein” by Edgar Winter. This Tuesday it’s the punkiest of the punk rock groups, The New York Dolls, who give us a completely different song called “Frankenstein.”

Looking at this portrait of the New York Dolls one can’t help but wonder if they were somehow inspired by Dick Briefer’s version of the Monster. Hmm.
