Sweet HOM 179!

 

Did you get a chance to talk with him, Dice?

[DiceX]

No. Unfortunately I didn't get to go to the show.

Was it HOM #217 where Wrightson drew the angry tree? I love that book. Probably my favorite over any of the Adams from that run.

still waiting to receive this;

has he ever done a poor cover?

[etanick]

hmmm....let see if we can find a "bad" Bernie cover

 

pure genius as far as the horror genre is concerned but I am sure some of his superhero covers might not be as good.

[Jeffro.]

While I wouldn't call it a bad cover, Secrets of Haunted House 5 is not, imo, one of his more inspired covers.

[Maccai3]

thats the pumpkin one, yes?

[Jeffro.]

Yeah, that's it.

 

[Maccai3]

like you said though it's hardly a bad cover, he seems like a really nice guy too, there's a youtube video of him drawing at a con and in the picture he draws he hold his sharpie like a paintbrush, i doubt his finished work is done in that method

[ramrod44]

Yeah, that's it.

 

 

I love all of Wrightson's halloween covers! IMHO his weakest covers are HOS 135 and HOM 255.

Great book my man.

[revat]

these belonged to my dad, from when he was younger. They're pretty beat, but I was pretty happy to get them signed and meet a favorite artist of my dad. My dad was happy to see the comics, but mostly indifferent haha.

I just picked up Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein adaptation of Mary Shelly's book put out by Dark Horse.

 

I bought it for my oldest daughter as a birthday gift, and it's utterly beautiful. It's big, printed with a linen lined hardcover and it's very high quality...and not every expensive at all. I think sticker price was $29 or so.

 

I'd highly recommend it in case someone out there has not read this story yet with Bernie's illustrations.
