Description

Bernie Wrightson Eerie #67 Inside Front Cover Illustration Original Art (Warren, 1975). "Grab your shovels, kiddies, and dig in!" Cousin Eerie exhumes a fresh batch of macabre delights in this chilling frontispiece by horror master Bernie Wrightson, created at the absolute height of his powers. It's the largest frontispiece Wrightson ever produced for Eerie, and he poured on the ink with relish. Drawn while he was deep into his illustrated Frankenstein, the same obsessive detail and gothic weight ooze through every shadow. The image proved far too good to bury. It resurfaced as a full-page feature in Wrightson's famed artbook A Look Back (Page 210), served as the index page in The Studio, reappeared in Creepy Presents Bernie Wrightson, and even claimed the front cover of a 1979 issue of the Swedish comics magazine Bild & Bubbla. Produced in ink as black as Cousin Eerie's soul, over graphite on a Bristol board with an image area of 12.5" x 21.5". Light toning, 2" tear in the top right image area repaired with tape on the back, minor vertical creasing down the center left image area, light scratches, light marginal scoring, marginal staining, and corner/handling wear. Signed and dated by Wrightson in the lower left corner. In Very Good condition.
