I think Briefer (or whoever inked this) forgot the ropes!

Dick Briefer's Frankenstein!
Obviously, we're still doing the humor stuff by issue 15!
With issue 18, we've definitely suddenly switched back to horror!
Apparently, some plots were used in both the humorous and serious version of the character!

Dick Briefer's Frankenstein!
That's a pretty funny gag, if you ask me!
Kind of looks like it went back to horror with this issue, doesn't it?

Frankenstein French Novel!
Interesting that this French edition of Mary Shelley's novel featured the Universal Monster on the cover, eh?

Frankenstein 1970 Mexican Lobby Card!
As you can see, the Mexican distributor of this movie had no problem featuring Karloff's Monster on the lobby cards!

Frankenstein PVC!
I'm not entirely convinced this is supposed to be the Monster... but that's what the seller of this item claimed when they listed it on eBay!

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein 8mm Box Art!
Here's another release of A&C Meet Frankenstein in 8mm digest format... whoever put this box design together really did a lousy job on the Monster, didn't they? Ah, the days before PhotoShop...

Dick Briefer's Frankenstein!
By far, the most successful Frankenstein of the comics was Prize Publications' version, created by Dick Briefer! Sometimes he was portrayed as a serious monster, and sometimes he was played for laughs (not at the same time, mind you!). I think it started out seriously, and then went to humor, and then back to horror again.
The best coverage of Dick Briefer's Frankenstein was a chapter in "The Great Comic-Book Book," which you can order below:
I'll be featuring more of this version of Frankenstein here and there in the future!
