RIP to a true master of the macabre: the great horror and
fantasy artist Berni Wrightson has passed on, at 68. Among many achievements, Wrightson
is known for his superb illustrated edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1983) and as the creator (with
writer Len Wein) of the DC Comics hero-monster Swamp Thing in 1972 (a character
later brilliantly expanded upon by my fellow Erie-ite and pal John Totleben, in
collaboration with Stephen Bissette and Alan Moore).
Obviously…
Monster-of-the-Week: …a Wrightson creation is in order, so
how about…
