For those of you who may not be aware, I am proud to introduce you to one of the great horror artists of our age: Bernie Wrightson. Official Website WikipediaBernie was one of the creators of the famous 'Swamp Thing' character from DC Comics, did " The" definitive illustrated version of Mary Shelly's 'Frankenstein', created the characters 'Hanover Fiste' and 'Captain Sternn' which were featured in the movie 'Heavy Metal', has done countless illustrations for every major horror title in comics (Warren, Creepy, House of Secrets, etc.), has published books and portfolios of his art, and worked on art production for quite a few movies, including the 'Reavers' characters from 'Serenity', 'Return of the Living Dead', 'Galaxy Quest', and 'The Mist', to name but a few (pretty sure I got those movie references right). Bernie also did a very good comic book adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's story 'Cool Air', and created one of the posters for the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. I was fortunate enough to meet Bernie and his wife Liz at a local convention a number of years ago, and I have never met nicer people. I will try to find some of his work to display below, for those who have never seen it. Please enjoy!

As a kid, I collected his Poe adaptations. He also drew the Captain Stern segment in "Heavy Metal" iirc.

I remember reading them in the magazine before the movie came out. Much later, he re-did the series in comic-book form. I have some of those. I'd love to see some of those Poe adaptations! Thanks, George!
