Crestwood Publications

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crestwood Publications, also known as Prize Comics and Feature Publications, was a magazine publisher that also published comic book from the 1940s through the 1960s. Its main claim to fame was that in the late 1940s to mid 1950s, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby packaged comics for the company, and creating many new titles. This included the non-gory horror comic Black Magic, the creator-owned Fighting American, and the first romance comic title, Young Romance.

The company gave up publishing comics in 1963, selling off its remaining romance comics to DC. They continued to publish humor magazines up to the mid-late 1970s.





Frankenstein (Prize Comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In one of the many comic book adaptations of the Frankenstein monster created by Mary Shelley in her 1818 novel Frankenstein, writer-artist Dick Briefer presented two loosely based versions in the Prize Comics series Prize Comics and Frankenstein from 1940 to 1954. The first version represents what comics historians call American comic books' first ongoing horror feature.


Comics' first horror feature

In Prize Comics #7 (Dec. 1940), writer-artist Dick Briefer (using the pseudonym "Frank N. Stein" in the latter role) introduced the eight-page feature "New Adventures of Frankenstein", an updated version of 19th-century novelist Mary Shelley's much-adapted Frankenstein monster.[1] Considered by comics historians including Don Markstein as "America's first ongoing comic book series to fall squarely within the horror genre",[2][3] the feature, set in New York City circa 1930, starred a guttural, rampaging creature actually dubbed "Frankenstein" (unlike Shelley's nameless original monster).

In Prize Comics #11 (June 1941), Briefer dropped the "Frank N. Stein" pen name of the previous three stories and introduced Denny "Bulldog" Dunsan as Frankenstein's ongoing antagonist. Prize Comics #24 (Oct. 1942) pitted the monster against Bulldog and publisher Prize Comics' superheroes the Black Owl, the Green Lama, and Dr. Frost; the non-superpowered teens Yank and Doodle ("America's Fighting Twins"; and the namesake characters from the humor feature "General and the Corporal".[4] As with many comics characters of the time, the monster found himself in the European theater of World War II fighting Nazis.
