Description
Bernie Wrightson The Monsters: Color the Creature Book Swamp Monster Hand-Colored Illustration Original Art (Phil Seuling, 1974). When the black-and-white originals for this book were originally auctioned by Russ Cochran in the 1970s, they came with a unique offer. As Wrightson explained in A Look Back: "I offered to color them for the purchasers for the same price they paid for the drawing. If they paid $250 for it, I would color it for another $250. Not many people took me up on it. I have colored five out of the sixteen. I put in a lot of work coloring the few that I did." Since DC of course owned the rights to Swamp Thing, this creature was simply called the Swamp Monster. Rendered in color inks on board. Signed at left. This piece has an image area of 10" x 14". Pinholes. Excellent condition.More information about Bernie Wrightson. See also: Wrightson, Bernie, Berni Wrightson Artist.
