Did you buy the Wrightson from me? I sold it for Bernie back in the day.

A werewolf, a gargoyle and a skeleton walk into a bar... this WBN #34 cover was published Oct 1975 (Halloween, naturally).

A panel I used to own, apologies if the current owner is a boardie, this is a Bill Discount from pre-code Thing, if I recall correctly.

Happy Halloween, David

As soon as I saw it on your site (iirc after you stopped doing catalogs), I was ON IT. Not cheap (for then) but I knew it was 'upper tier' for post-Frankenstein Wrightson   and likely my only chance given my budget of the time to fly even that close to the sun (others would have had a four figure price tag on it...and it would have sat, and sat, and sat; we all know how that works )

Don't thank me ever for anything I bought through you - I'm always the one that came out ahead and I thank you!

Swamp Thing . I call the piece "Growing Pains." I have long admired the pieces Dave Wachter has created particularly of Swamp Thing. I asked him if he would be willing to draw Swamp Thing growing on the skeleton of Alec Holland, his eye lit up and he got super excited. After I saw the results I can see why. The piece is stunning and truly one of my favorite images of Swamp Thing ever. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1395810

Delicious stuff.

 

Also: Francavilla doing Inktober has been very fun to follow.

I just picked up this four color separation acetates production art (gasp!) piece from the Deodato 1995 Image Comics GLORY series.

Vault Of Horror #22, Johnny Craig

Blast from the past . . . I used to own the complete story!

[The Voord]

Unpublished pre-code ACG cover. Issue range, for which this cover was intended, would have been #s 28 - 33 (1952).

Interesting one, this . . .

Revised UK artwork, by Tom Chantrell, of the American 1965 cinema release movie poster painting by Reynold Brown for DIE, MONSTER, DIE!, using a high-quality copy of Brown's artwork as its basis.

For the UK release, a year later, the movie was re-titled, MONSTER OF TERROR, and was double-billed with THE HAUNTED PALACE.

Chantrell directly used a flipped copy of Reynold Brown's artwork, re-painting parts of it to modify the image for the UK release. I'd roughly estimate Chantrell's re-painting at around 35% of the overall image.

For whatever reason, the MONSTER OF TERROR half of the double-bill poster artwork was later removed from the overall painting and, at some stage, the revised artwork was badly folded - in the process losing parts of the pasted-up title and production credits. I had a paper conservator at Liverpool Museum eliminate most of the fold damage.

There appears to have been several versions of Chantrell's revised MONSTER OF TERROR artwork and have yet to track-down a poster design that fully-matches the artwork hereby displayed.

Basically, this was an inexpensive purchase for me, bought mainly for the cool image. The artwork was missing the bottom half of the movie's title lettering. I've photoshopped the missing part, which is not a good colour-match.

Hi Terry, How far can you go getting creative here with found art before the critics chime in?

Best, David
