B2D327 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 One of my favorite artists; sad news. Hopefully, he recovers soon and is able to enjoy a happy and fulfilling life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Adam Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 One of the all-time greats! Berni, if you're reading this, get well soon so you can start enjoying a well-deserved retirement (with what sounds to be a wonderful family) for many, many years to come!

jhutton2 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Very sad news. I do hope though the Mr. Wrightson can recover sufficiently to have an enjoyable quality of life for himself and his family, even if no more art is in the future. Prayers out to you Bernie Edited January 31, 2017 by jhutton2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 One of my art inspirations and favorites. I met him once at Motor City and regret not getting something signed. I wish him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I've shared this before but it reminds me how much I loved his work. I did this at age 14 Circa 1980. I also tried to recreate the cover of Swamp Thing 2 but it's lost to antiquity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirdgreenham Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 What a wonderful and terrific career he has had. So much enjoyment created from his pencil for our eyes! Thank you, Bernie! greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss5rmp Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Met him at sac anime last year and had him sign a swamp thing print they gave out. He was extremely nice, easy to talk to, and courteous as well. He was also very patient with indecisive people on where he should sign their book. Hopefully he gets better soon.

miraclemet Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Met him years ago before CGC SS was a thing (or at least before it was a thing to me). I've been trying to get a SS of anyone who ever worked on the GL title, and with the announcement was gripped with worry cause I couldnt remember if I had gotten a Wrightson SS yet! Granted he only contributed a bit to the line, a little inking over Adams back during the Denny/Neal years, and a smattering of short stories over the decades... then I found this in the box and was relieved. I hope Bernie enjoys his retirement even if it didnt come on his terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spideyfan68 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) I met Bernie at Comicpalooza last year and he was such a gentlemen and overall great guy. I wish him my the best and hope he gets well soon. In addition he has one of the best signatures in the industry.

jools&jim Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Very sad news. I did a fairly long interview with Mr. Wrightson when I worked for Diamond back in the mid 1990s...super nice guy, very easy to talk to (even though he had probably answered the same questions a thousand times over!), and a Baltimore native, too. I pray that he recovers quickly and enjoys the slower pace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
